Bonnie and Clyde opened on Broadway in November and closed by year end. Too bad, because I am intrigued. First of all, it's a great story for this economic climate. Our morals go a little wacky when times are tough. And, in a world where Kardashian is a household name, the blurring of fame and infamy sounds right for the times, too.
Then there's the staging. A story that depends on violence and car chases on stage? Let's see how they do that.
And finally, which B&C story do they tell? Is this the landmark movie brought to the stage? Is it closer to reality? Or is it a third spin?
Damn, I wish I'd gotten to see this!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age (54). I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live in the burbs and work in the city (Chicago, the best city in the world). I'm a daughter, a friend and a colleague. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

A former student of mine saw it in New York. She loves everything she sees so she's not a good critic, but she gushed about it.
