Bonnie & Clyde Live - My Review - What a delightful show
Posted By Tim Todd | Posted 2 months ago
I've been lucky enough to have access to review the Streamed on demand version of Bonnie & Clyde recorded at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Seeing the pro shot also marks the first time I have witnessed the delight of Bonnie & Clyde, although I have previously reviewed the West End cast recording last year.
Filmed live at Theatre Royal Drury Lane during two special one-off concert stagings in January 2022, Bonnie & Clyde The Musical: Filmed Live features theatre royalty Jeremy Jordan as Clyde who originated the role of Clyde Barrow in the Broadway premiere of the production in 2011. He is joined by Frances Mayli McCann who went on to originate the role of Bonnie in the West End.
The staging features some of the biggest names in theatre including 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.
Bonnie & Clyde The Musical is the story of two small-town kids from the middle of nowhere who became the biggest folk heroes in all America. They craved adventure - and each other. Fearless, shameless, and alluring, this is the electrifying story of love, adventure and crime that captured the attention of an entire nation.
Jeremy Jordan as Clyde and Frances Mayli McCann give us outstanding vocals and chemistry which made this production electrifying and believable.
The use of camera angles, lighting and special effects made the production believable and exciting and definitely carries the storyline perfectly.
I absolutely loved the orchestrations in this production especially with the sound and the quality. The soundtrack included numbers the theatre industry knows and loves including When I Drive and Raise a Little Hell to name a few.
Considering you can watch this pro-shot for only £8 (With Ads) or £12 (Without Ads) is an absolute bargain and is definitely a great comfortable relaxing evening at home.
I’m Giving this show a star rating of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For complete transparency purposes I was given early press access to the show.
