They’re young. They’re in love. They kill people. And soon they’re going to sing and dance on Broadway. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, those fresh-faced outlaws whose bank-robbing exploits thrilled Depression-era America (and inspired an Arthur Penn movie so violent it might as well have come with its own bib), will be the subject of a musical that will open at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater this fall, press representatives for the show said on Thursday.

The Broadway production of “Bonnie & Clyde,” which has previously been presented at the La Jolla Playhouse in California and the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Fla., will star Laura Osnes (of the current revival of “Anything Goes”) as Bonnie, reprising the role she originated in the earlier productions. Jeremy Jordan (“Rock of Ages,” “West Side Story”) will also star as Clyde, having played the character at the Asolo Rep. Jeff Calhoun, who provided musical staging for Broadway’s “Grey Gardens,” will direct.

The musical features a book by Ivan Menchell, a producer of the Disney Channel shows “Jonas” and “Phil of the Future,” and lyrics by Don Black, who has previously collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber (“Aspects of Love,” “Sunset Boulevard”). The music is by Frank Wildhorn, whose last Broadway musical, “Wonderland,” met its end in a manner similar to Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in the “Bonnie and Clyde” film.

The “Bonnie & Clyde” musical will begin previews on Nov. 4 and has an opening night scheduled for Dec. 1. It will be presented by Kathleen Raitt, Barry Satchwell Smith, Jerry Frankel, Jeffrey Richards and Michael Jenkins.
