Bronco Billy The Musical is a rollicking new musical comedy based on the original Clint Eastwood motion picture.
It’s 1979 and life is tough for a group of romantic fast-drawing, trick-riding, disco-dancing Wild West roustabouts and their travelling show, but things take an unexpected turn when Bronco Billy (leader of this rag-tag troupe) meets Antoinette Lily, a determined Manhattan heiress on the run for her life. So begins a wild, zany ride in this thrillingly upbeat musical about love, reinvention, family and living your dream.
The new musical features a book by Dennis Hackin, music and lyrics by Chip Rosenbloom and John Torres, with additional lyrics by Michele Brourman.
Bronco Billy the Musical is directed by Hunter Bird, with set design by Amy Jane Cook, costumes by Sarah Mercade, choreography by Alexzandra Sarmiento, lighting by Nick Richings, sound by Andrew Johnson, musical director Marcus Carter-Adams, illusions by John Bulleid, orchestrations and musical supervision by David O, and casting by Will Burton.
Director Hunter Bird said: "I'm thrilled to be collaborating with this unbelievably talented company of performers to make this Wild West disco musical. This heart-forward group is going to surprise and delight our audiences. Our show will include magic, tap dancing, lasso work, whip-cracking, gun twirling, juggling- and that's just Act One. We're endeavouring to make this show as joyful as possible, and this cast is the perfect group to take on that exuberant challenge. I cannot wait to be in the room with them."
