Despite the glamorous, romanticized portrait painted of them by the media, Bonnie and Clyde and their gang lived a harsh life out of Clyde’s various stolen cars which he would drive from state to state to avoid being caught. The spree came to an end in 1934. Before dawn on May 23, 1934, a posse composed of six police officers from Louisiana and Texas, led by Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, concealed themselves in bushes along the highway near Sailes, Louisiana. Bonnie and Clyde appeared in an automobile and when they attempted to drive away, the officers opened fire, shooting a reported 130 rounds at the couple’s car. During the ambush, Bonnie was shot by 26 bullets, and Clyde was shot 17 times.

    'Kinky Boots' Sets April 4 Broadway Opening - NYTimes.com AUGUST 15, 2012, 3:13 PM ‘Kinky Boots’ Sets April 4 Broadway Opening By PATRICK HEALY "Kinky Boots," one of the most anticipated musicals of the new Broadway season, with Cyndi Laupermaking her debut as a songwriter for the stage, will begin performances on March 5, 2013, at the Al Hirschfeld Theater and open on April 4, the producers announced on Wednesday. Based on a 2005 British filmabout a shoe factory heir who enlists a drag queen to help save the family business, "Kinky Boots" will star the Tony Award nominee Stark Sands ("Journey's End," "American Idiot") as the scion Charlie and Billy Porter (Belize in the Off Broadway revival of "Angels in America") as the resourceful Lola. The show's book writer is Harvey Fierstein, who won a Tony for his book for "La Cage aux Folles" and was nominated in the category last season for the Broadway musical "Newsies." Ms. Lauper, a Grammy-winning pop icon of the 1980s, has written the music and lyrics for the production, which will have an out-of-town run in Chicago this fall. Jerry Mitchell will direct, and the lead producers are Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig. Like "Kinky Boots," most of the new Broadway musicals expected this season are inspired by movies or books; the others include "Bring It On," "Rebecca," "A Christmas Story," "Matilda," "Diner," and "Hands on a Hardbody." http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/15/kinky-boots-sets-april-4-broadway-opening/?pagewanted=print[8/16/2012 9:52:02 AM] Religious Roots Tangle With the Groovy ’60s - The New York Times August 15, 2012 THEATER REVIEW Religious Roots Tangle With the Groovy ’60s By JASON ZINOMAN Wearing a bushy beard and the absent-minded expression of a father preoccupied with work at the dinner table, Eric Anderson, who plays the Jewish singer Shlomo Carlebach in the bio-musical “Soul Doctor,” appears smaller than life.

    DARK LADY IN 'WONDERLAND': Kate Shindle (center) as the Mad Hatter & the ensemble in Wonderland. Photo: Michal Daniel Theater Review Mind-numbing malice in Wonderland WONDERLAND Book by Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy Lyrics by Jack Murphy Music by Frank Wildhorn Choreography by Marguerite Derricks Directed by Gregory Boyd. Marquis Theatre 1535 Broadway at 46th Street (877‐250‐2929), www.wonderlandonbroadway.com By Scott Harrah Have your kids been behaving badly? Punish them by taking them to this mind‐numbing mess of a Broadway musical. The White Rabbit has laid one big, stinking rotten egg of a show just in time for Easter, loosely based on Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s book, Alice in Wonderland. It is a shame indeed because so much could be done to make an imaginative, innovative musical adaptation of this timeless kid's story, but book writers Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy and Broadway veteran composer Frank Wildhorn (of Jekyll & Hyde fame) fail on so many levels. The result is an excruciatingly painful, cringe‐inducing show that makes one’s jaw drop in stultifying amazement by how ill conceived the story is from beginning to end. We know we are in trouble in the show’s opener when grown‐up Alice (Janet Dacal, last seen on Broadway's In The Heights) appears on stage sporting dark leggings, a smock top with 1980s‐ style cinch belt and boots, and a frizzy hairstyle that makes her resemble pop‐rocker Pat Benatar in her MTV heyday. There is no doubt that Ms. Dacal is a gifted actor and great singer, but the material she is given with here wastes her talents.
