Today we finish up our fall American Dream Miniseries with a surprise fourth episode dedicated to the listener requested BONNIE & CLYDE.
This musical, maybe even more than the others we've covered in this miniseries, most easily represents the experience of Americans in 2025. Let that sink in for a minute!
Here to discuss it is the show's book writer, Ivan Menchell (BONNIE & CLYDE, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, DEATH NOTE) who provides fascinating context regarding his approach to these legendary characters and the explanation behind the show's short Broadway run.

For more Frank Wildhorn, listen to JEKYLL & HYDE with Rebecca Spencer
Join all the cool people at PATREON! for bonus episodes (including one today featuring BONNIE & CLYDE superfan Jennifer Lyn), essays, and polls. Share our episodes and videos on Instagram and TikTok. Don't forget about our TeePublic Store where the profits we receive are donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
