The country’s going crazy; partisan politics, civil rights threatened, technology exploding. That's right, it's 1979! Somewhere in America’s heartland, with more heart than sense, Bronco Billy struggles to keep his traveling Wild West show alive. But when Billy and his ragtag troupe of misfits meet Antoinette, a Manhattan heiress on-the-run, the ride gets even wilder as she turns Billy’s world upside down.
“The show is about living your passion. About being part of a family even if you have to create your own. With some unexpected turns through love, villainy, show business, and lots of humor, composers and lyricists Chip, John, and Michele have beautifully honored the book and enlightened the characters with their magical musical influences,” says creator Dennis Hackin.“
Directed by Hunter Bird. Music and Lyrics by Chip Rosenbloom and John Torres, with additional lyrics by Michele Brourman. Produced by Gary Grossman, Tony Abatemarco, and presented by the multi-award winning Skylight Theatre.
Dennis Hackin (Book) wrote the novel and the film version of Bronco Billy, co-produced with Neal Dobrofsky.
