The Musical

(Ore Dock Brewing) | 114 W. Spring Street, Marquette

Based on the real-life story of the infamous criminal duo Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, Bonnie and Clyde is a thrilling musical by Ivan Menchell (book), Don Black (lyrics), and Frank Wildhorn (music). It explores the passionate and doomed love affair between the two outlaws as they embark on the crime spree that turned them into folk legends. With dreams bigger than Great Depression-era America could offer, Bonnie and Clyde captured the nation's attention, driven by their desire to escape their circumstances.

Featuring a dynamic blend of blues, rockabilly, and gospel, the show delves into themes of rebellion, love, and tragedy. It chronicles their rise to fame and inevitable downfall, while asking the powerful question: what would you do if you had nothing left to lose? Combining heart-pounding action with emotional depth, the musical brings the legend of Bonnie and Clyde to life with unforgettable music and intense drama.
