âStarring Clara Bow,â is our boundâfor-Broadway musical that tells the story of Clara Bowâs remarkable rise to âFame and Fortuneâ as the worldâs first silent film sex symbol and the biggest star of Paramount Pictures during the 1920âs.
Clara Bow had a fascinating life in Hollywoodâs silent era and our musical brings to life the story of Claraâs meteoric rise from a life in abject poverty to super-stardom. She experienced untold suffering in a Brooklyn tenement from an abusive father and mentally ill mother, but winning a movie magazine contest bought her a trip to Hollywood and super-stardom.
As the most popular star of the silent era, Clara was loved by the public but shunned by the other stars of her time. Her captivating beauty attracted torrid affairs with Victor Fleming, Gary Cooper, and Gilbert Roland, and yet she found true love and walked away from Hollywood at the age of 26 to marry the man of her dreams.
Claraâs fascinating story and our wonderful songs contain all the earmarks of a truly great Broadway musical.
