Why Bonnie and Clyde?
I’ve always been drawn to the romanticism of outlaws on the run. There’s something sexy about it, whether it’s Thelma and Louise, Bonnie and Clyde or the pair in Natural Born Killers. It’s a dark fantasy that I think a lot of people have or we wouldn’t be retelling this story over and over again. But, I wanted it to be funny and satirical. Kind of a Mel Brooksian/Urinetown sort of thing. Do you have any idea what’s next for you? You know, I’ve never planned my life. I’ve always kind of let one show take me to the next show to the next show. I think if I started to plan, things would probably go awry. I’d make the wrong decision. It’s tough because making career decisions, whatever opportunity you take may take you away from something else. The other day, I ran into a stage manager from The Full Monty who asked why I was never in that show. I said that I was out of town when they were auditioning for The Full Monty, but I would have loved to have been in it. It’s one of my favorite show
