Thelma & Louise stars Amy Lennox and Rachel Tucker appeared on ITV London to discuss the upcoming world premiere musical at the Young Vic. During the interview, the pair shared how the iconic film has been reimagined for the stage, while retaining moments that fans of the original will recognize and love. Check out the interview!
The segment also offered a taste of Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Neko Case’s new music for the production, featuring a clip of Lennox and Tucker singing a piece from the score.
Speaking about Case’s music, Tucker said, “It feels like it’s from her soul, her gut. She’s an LA rockstar and it’s coming from her soul.”
More than 30 years after the film first premiered, Oscar and Golden Globe-winning screenwriter CALLIE KHOURI has adapted her story for the stage. The new musical features music by Case and is directed by Trip Cullman.
Lennox and Tucker star as Thelma and Louise, respectively. On a spontaneous weekend getaway, an ill-fated encounter with a stranger at a roadside honky-tonk sends the best friends on a life-changing journey. The new musical brings the story of freedom, solidarity and friendship to the stage with a new score while drawing on the characters and moments that have made the original film enduring.
