The world-premiere musical Bonnie & Clydeis now playing at the La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre.
I got a chance to chat with composer Frank Wildhorn about the musical inspiration for the show, which is one of MANY he has in the works right now (Wonderland opens next month at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and Havana is coming to the Pasadena Playhouse in Spring 2010).
