The musical Bonnie and Clyde has its first-ever local performance this weekend at Huntington's City Hall auditorium, so let's hear from some of the members of the cast, starting with my pal, the talented Zach Davis:
Q: Bonnie and Clyde are famous figures from history - but in case our reader isn't familiar with them, tell us the basic story behind the musical.
Zach: Bonnie and Clyde the musical is based off of the real duo, and takes you through how they met and spans their robbies and murders.
Q: Tell us about the character you play.
Zach: I play Sheriff Smoot Smidtt. I am basically a Texas lawman who really doesn't like to work too hard, and when forced I get angry.
Q: What's your favorite part of the show?
Zach: It's really hard to pinpoint a favorite part of the show but I really enjoy the hairshop scene. It is really cute and funny.
Q: What's your background in theatre?
Zach: My background in theatre goes back many years - I have done multiple shows with different groups throughout the Tri-state, worked professionally on a National Tour, worked with local union on tours, directed, designed and built sets, and anything else you can think of. I have been quiet in recent years to focus on my family and therefore became a better patron of the arts.
Q: Why would you recommend this show to our readers?
Zach: I recommend this show because it's never been done in this area and isn't your normal show. It's more rockabilly musical style. I do strongly address not to bring young kids. It's edgy and has adult content. High school and up I suggest.
Q: Tell us the dates, times and place for the show.
Zach: The show runs two weekends - Sept. 20, 21, 27 and 28 at 8 p.m., and Sept. 22 and 29 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $12.
Thanks, Zach!
