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, based on the Warner Bros. film written by Dennis Hackin, by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures and features a book by Dennis Hackin, music and lyrics by Chip Rosenbloom and John Torres, with additional lyrics by Michele Brourman.
It had its world premiere at the Skylight Theatre Company, Los Angeles in on 18 May 2019, going on to win the Ovation Awards for Best Book/Original Musical and Best Lyrics and Musical/Original Musical.
