Case of the Blues: Neko's Thelma & Louise Musical Premieres

Neko Case has dropped a bombshell: she'll be leading a dual-life as both singer-songwriter and screenwriter for the stage adaptation of her beloved 90s film 'Thelma & Louise'. The musical, featuring music by Neko herself, is set to premiere at The Y in September.

The tour, kicking off October 15th in Lexington, MA, will see Neko teaming up with her Destroyer alter ego Dan Bejar for a series of dates. While there's no NYC show proper, fans can catch Neko and Destroyer at Poughkeepsie's Bardavon 1869 Opera House on October 22nd.

As the Thelma & Louise musical takes center stage, we're left wondering: what does it say about our cultural obsession with female friendship and rebellion that a 90s film has been adapted into an immersive theatrical experience?
