“I guess I went a little crazy, huh?”
On a whim, Louise invites her best friend Thelma 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.
The creative team includes choreography by Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber, scenography by Christine Jones and Brett J. Banakis, and costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight.
Lighting design is by Natasha Chivers, sound design by Gareth Owen, with musical supervision by Kimberly Grigsby and orchestration by John Clancy.
The production is a co-production between the Young Vic, Sonia Friedman Productions, Blue Spruce Productions, Ley Line Entertainment, and Callie Khouri, alongside Mandy Greenfield in association with MGM on Stage.
