Bonnie & Clyde UK Tour – New behind the scenes photos released

Producers of Bonnie & Clyde have released behind-the-scenes photos, as the show starts its major UK & Ireland tour.

There has also been a casting update for the tour, with news that EastEnders star Danny Hatchard has dropped out of the production. Danny was due to play Clyde Barrow at select venues on the tour, but has had to withdraw from the production due to scheduling issues.

Alex James-Hatton (Heathers, Newsies), who was already sharing the role with Danny, will now play all venues until 27 July 2024; and then Nate Landskroner (Waitress and Heathers), who is currently the alternate Clyde, will then take over the role for the rest of the tour.

The show also stars Catherine Tyldesley (Coronation Street, Strictly Come Dancing) as Blanche Barrow, sharing the role with Daisy Wood-Davis (Hollyoaks, Holby City) at certain venues.

The musical kicked off its tour at the Leicester Curve last month, and is now at the Sunderland Empire until Saturday. Bonnie & Clyde then visits over 20 towns and cities in the UK and Ireland including Cardiff, Southampton, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Woking, Bath, Manchester, Nottingham, Southend, Belfast, Bradford, Milton Keynes, Blackpool, Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Dublin, Brighton, Birmingham, Portsmouth, High Wycombe, Newcastle, Sheffield, Bromley and Northampton – check out all tour dates here.
