[Audio] Bonnie and Clyde Take Over Playhouse in the Park

Playhouse in the Park, Facebook

Chase Chadwick and Kelsey Booth from Playhouse in the Park's production of Bonnie and Clyde talk about the musical with Tracy Ross on Sounds Good.

 

Chadwick plays Buck Barrow, Clyde’s brother, who provides comic relief. He says Buck and his wife serve as a moral compass that the violent and thieving Bonnie and Clyde ignore. Though the pair is murderous, Booth says the audience will reach the end of the 2 hour 10 minute show actually liking the characters.

These characters, these people, they were real people, they may have done some really horrible things but this shows maybe more of their motives and you really are gonna learn to love these characters and see the love story behind it,” Booth said.

 

Booth and Chadwick say it has been hard work picking up the Texarkana dialect for their roles. Chadwick says it can “throw him for a loop” when he is trying to remember which mark on the stage to hit, what pitch to sing, and what dialect to use. 

 

The two-act musical has around 12 cast members. Booth and Chadwick rate the show at PG-13 for intimacy, language, and violence. It runs September 15th through the 25th.
