BROADWAY VIDEO OF THE WEEK:
The Bonnie and Clyde Photo Shoot

I love getting a look at things behind the scenes. I am really looking forward to Bonnie and Clyde (as I blogged over a year ago in a "On the Radar" piece, and this short video makes me evenn more excited! The palpable chemistry between Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan is both steamy and sinister. And that is all without saying or singing a word! Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical opens in December at the Schoenfeld Theatre.
