The celebrated Pittsburgh Public Theater launches its new streaming service with a recording of its recent hit The Coffin Maker. Inspired by the epic plays of August Wilson, Mark Clayton Southers' world premiere is set in 1849 in the west, where Lawrence Ebitt, a free Black man, and his wife prepare bodies for burial.

Even though it was a Broadway flop, Bonnie & Clyde is a favorite part for Jeremy Jordan, who earned rave reviews for his intense turn as an on-the-run outlaw.

Jordan is certainly a fan: In 2022, he reprised the role in a lavish concert staging of the show in London opposite Olivier nominee Frances Mayli McCann as his literal partner in crime. Now you can stream that performance as you watch these stars "Raise a Little Hell" in this iconic tale of one of America's most infamous couples.
