Fun Facts:
1. This musical was based on real life events involving Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. 
2. Laura Osnes originated the role of Bonnie on Broadway and said in a TimeOut NY interview that she had ?always played naive ingenues, and it?s really fun to change it up and be someone completely different. This role lets me explore that darker sensual side, and I also get to sing in a new style.? She said that the musicals allows people to ?see [the duo] as real people. They didn?t kill and rob because they were on a crazy rampage, they did it to survive.? 
3. The actual Bonnie Parker worked as a waitress in a diner in Dallas with her mother after divorcing her first husband Roy Thornton.
