Various producers have been trying to get this off the ground for years. One even got as far as finding a theatre for it, but then it got dropped.
It needs to go somewhere small. Will this be the first Wildhorn show produced for the west end?

To be honest if you looked at the same website at the start of this year you would have seen them say it's coming in summer 2019......which clearly it didn't, so i feel like i'll believe it when i actually see an announcement. Let's hope they can get it off the ground though and 2020 isn't just another unfulfilled promise.

The Arts Theatre seems to be booked for many a year.
So if it does happen, bearing in mind what Andy above said, then I would think it would be the Other Palace again, but albeit upstairs.

That would be brave of the producers considering how sales for tours of little known shows has been going recently. |

We saw an amateur production of Bonnie and Clyde at Southend in March and based on that experience I'll be booking Bonnie and Clyde as soon as it's launched, if it actually happens. Good score with several strong songs
The two leads are on stage almost continuously as I recall so a "name"as Bonnie Parker would help initial sales, eg Carrie Hope Fletcher who's about the right age.
Incidentally there's also an amateur production at the Cramphorn Theatre in Chelmsford from November 12 - 16.

Thank god that never happened after her terrible turn in Chicago |

So the DLAP Entertainment website has been updated to read “...and the UK premiere of the Frank Wildhorn, Don Black and Ivan Menchell musical, Bonnie & Clyde (in development).” whereas it previously said about the West End followed by a tour.
