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 Trip Cullman-directed 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 seems primed to capture the spirit of the original thanks to who’s onboard, with Thelma & Louise screenwriter, Callie Khouri, penning the book, while Case handled the music and lyrics. Take one listen to any of Case’s albums and her fiery, feminist prose is unmistakably in line with the film’s themes, including 2025’s lovelorn Neon Grey Midnight Green.
“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.”
