Outlaws Bonnie and Clyde are speeding their way to a town near you in their first UK tour, and it's clear that they're going to be stealing audiences' hearts along the way. 

Alex James-Hatton is perfectly cast as Clyde, his dashing smiles and easy quips barely disguising the desperation and pent-up aggression simmering beneath. His vocals are outstanding, from the sinister growl of his lower register to the surprising tenderness of his falsetto. 

Katie Tonkinson is all charm and sass as aspiring actress Bonnie and delivers the show’s soaring country ballads with ease. Together the pair pull the audience into a doomed love story that still feels fresh despite having ended almost a century ago.
