Thelma & Louise: A New Musical is a musical centering around Thelma, who desperately needs a break from her marriage, and Louise, who has the perfect solution. They’re going to get away together for the weekend, just the two of them. Their plans take an unexpected and frightening turn, however, after an encounter at a bar leaves them both shaken and facing consequences that will transform their lives as they know them.
Amy Lennox stars as Thelma opposite Rachel Tucker as Louise, bringing together two acclaimed musical-theatre performers for this new stage version of a beloved feminist story. Trevor Dion Nicholas plays Hal, Jordan Luke Gage plays JD, and Samuel Edwards appears as Darryl.
While their friendship is tested at every waking moment, Thelma and Louise find themselves increasingly willing to step outside their comfort zones. The formidable tale of these two women now becomes a musical about refusing to live according to anyone else’s rules.
