Neko Case has been working on a musical adaptation of the 1991 movie Thelma & Louise for years, and now it’s finally got a premiere date. The show will make its debut this fall in London at the Young Vic Theater. It’s scheduled to run from September 3 to October 24, with tickets going on sale at the theater’s website next week. Check out the poster below.
As far as adaptations go, this one is about as true to the original as it gets regarding its creators. The original Thelma & Louise screenplay writer, Callie Khouri, penned the book, while Case handled the music and lyrics, and Trip Cullman is directing. Take one listen through any of Case’s albums and her fiery, feminist prose is unmistakably in line with the film’s themes, including the loveworn Neon Grey Midnight Green from last year.
“I will be in London most of the summer helping put on the finishing touches and rehearsing. (no, I’m not performing.)” wrote Case in her Substack announcing the news. “I am so proud of everyone and I hope you will join us if you can. Fingers crossed, everybody! Here goes! XO”
