The company also includes George Maguire as Buck, Natalie McQueen as Blanche, Trevor Dion Nicholas as Preacher, Liam Tamne as Ted, Casey Al-Shaqsy as Stella, Simon Anthony as Cop/Bud/Archie/Deputy Johnson, Gillian Bevan as Cummie Barrow/Eleanor, Eloise Davies as Trish, Adrian Grove as Henry Barrow, Debbie Kurup as Governor Miriam Ferguson, Matthew Malthouse as Bob Alcorn, Jeremy Secomb as Judge/Sheriff Schmid, Russell Wilcox as Captain Frank Hamer, and Julie Yammanee as Emma Parker.

“Playing Clyde Barrow in Bonnie & Clyde The Musical has been one of the highlights of my career,” said Jordan in an earlier statement. “I was delighted to reprise the role, alongside the fantastic Frances Mayli McCann as Bonnie, for a special concert staging at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 2022 and am beyond thrilled to be able to share that version of the show with audiences worldwide.”

“Having the opportunity to play Bonnie Parker in the premiere of Bonnie & Clyde in London has been one of the highlights of my career, and playing the role alongside the original Clyde, Broadway star Jeremy Jordan, was such an incredible experience,” added McCann. “I’m thrilled and excited to share our concert from the Drury Lane Theatre in the West End, with audiences across the world!”

“For many, exposure to musical theatre begins at home or in school, and my hope is that worldwide audiences will bring Bonnie & Clyde into their auditoriums and living rooms,” stated producer David Treatman. “We were able to capture an extraordinary presentation of this beloved show in an unusually vital way. There is an electricity that courses through the performances that we were able to translate to the screen through the excellence of the artists involved at every level of the production, and an innovative approach to the taping. While nothing can replace the live experience, our film harnesses the power of cinema to capture its essence, preserving the energy of live performance while embracing the advantages of film, delivering both the danger and excitement of the stage alongside the intimacy and intention of the camera at a price that is more financially accessible.”

Bonnie and Clyde features music Tony nominee nominee Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel), lyrics by Tony winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard, Aspects of Love), and a book by Emmy nominee Ivan Menchell (Blended, The Cemetery Club).
