Thelma and Louise – A New Musical is coming to Young Vic

The musical will run from 3rd September to 24th October

"I guess I went a little crazy, huh?"

 

On a whim, Louise (Rachel Tucker) invites her best friend Thelma (Amy Lennox) for a spontaneous weekend getaway. After an ill-fated encounter with a stranger at a roadside honkytonk, their lifelong friendship is forged into something dangerous and unbreakable. Propelled by a soaring musical score, they set out on a last-chance adventure in a world where every card is stacked against them. 

More than thirty years after the Oscar and Golden Globe-winning film, writer Callie Khouri reimagines her iconic road movie, Thelma & Louise, as a brand-new musical. With music and lyrics by Grammy-nominated artist Neko Case, this electrifying production, directed by Trip Cullman is wild, hilarious and will rip your heart out.
