Get ready to raise a little hell—the infamous duo has hit the Granbury Opera House stage, and we’ve got your backstage pass! 🎙️
In this episode of Acting Up with GTC, hosts Micky Shearon and Matt Beutner take you deep into the world of Bonnie & Clyde: The Musical with cast interviews, wild rehearsal stories, historical lore, and a whole lot of laughter (plus a healthy dose of button-missing chaos).
We sit down with Director Jay Lewis and stars Gavin Clark (Clyde Barrow) and Liz Heil (Bonnie Parker) to talk about bringing this thrilling, complex, and musically electric show to life. Later, we’re joined by cast members Ben Rongey, Jake Hamilton, and more for a chat that spirals into delightful madness faster than a getaway car.
🎶 From rockabilly and gospel to gutsy bluegrass and bold storytelling, this production doesn’t just sing—it slays. The music is a genre-blending masterclass from Frank Wildhorn (of Jekyll & Hyde fame), and the cast? Let's just say, it's a Granbury theatre dream team.
🎟️ Don’t just listen—come SEE it! Bonnie & Clyde opens April 4 and runs through April 27 at the historic Granbury Opera House. You’ve never seen (or heard) anything quite like this.
