Bronco Billy is a new musical comedy based on the 1980 Warner Bros film, starring and directed by Clint Eastwood, written by Dennis Hackin, by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. The musical features a book by Hackin, with music and lyrics by Chip Rosenbloom and John Torres, with additional lyrics by Michele Brourman, and orchestrations, arrangements and musical supervision by David O.
In 2024, the musical played a critically acclaimed limited engagement at London’s Charing Cross Theatre and now has its eyes set on a return to London and a future New York run. Bronco Billy –The Musical was developed and had its world premiere at the Skylight Theatre, Los Angeles in 2019. Its 18-week sold out run won multiple Ovation Awards for Best Book/ Original Musical and Best Lyrics and Music/Original Musical.
It’s 1979: The year of the Walkman, the first bungee jump... and the wildest ride you’ve never heard of — until now. Meet Bronco Billy McCoy, a sharpshooting dreamer clinging to his crumbling Wild West show, and Antoinette Lily, a high-society heiress turned runaway rebel. She's on the run from her villainous stepmother, he's barely holding it together — and when their worlds collide, the result is a whirlwind of disco, danger, and destiny. Bronco Billy – The Musical is a dazzling, feel-good adventure about chasing your dreams — no matter how far-fetched — and finding family in the unlikeliest of places. With a high-energy score, outrageous twists, a band of misfit performers and blundering assassins, it’s a madcap race for love, fame, and freedom across a rollercoaster America.
The album features original cast members Emily Benjamin as Antoinette Lily, Tarinn Callender as Bronco Billy McCoy, Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as Constance Lily, Gemma Atkins as Dee Dee Delaware, Jonathan Bourne as Sam Lily, Josh Butler as Lasso Leonard, Alice Croft as Mitzi Fritts, Chris Jared as Sinclair St. Clair, Karen Mavundukure as Doc Blue, Henry Maynard as Lefty Lebow, Alexander McMorran as Edgar White Lipton, Aharon Rayner as Joe Eagle, Helen K Wint as Lorraine, and Silas Wyatt-Barke as John Arlington, with swings Kalisha Amaris and David Muscat.
