The Tony-nominated piece, which is penned by Ivan Menchell, Frank Wildhorn and Don Black, follows the true story of two outlaws who go on a murderous spree across the nation – gaining fame in the process. The musical was first seen on Broadway with Jeremy Jordan playing Clyde – with Jordan having returned for three Theatre Royal Drury Lane concerts in January 2022 (which have been filmed for future release).
It received a glowing review from WhatsOnStage, being described as "an excellent production firing on all cylinders."
