Seyfried confirmed on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna on April 7 that she will play Thelma in a musical Broadway adaptation of “Thelma & Louise.”playing Elizabeth Holmes in last year’s Hulu miniseries “The Dropout“I was busy working on my first Broadway musical adaptation of ‘Thelma & Louise,’ which no one thought, ‘Oh, that should be a musical,’ except some very genius people. But now it’s just like, it has to be,” she said.
“I’m nuts, I think,” she said. “I don’t love working really hard, unless it’s very specific. And I know with ‘The Dropout,’ it was four months. I was so prepared. It was the most exciting thing I’ve ever done in my career. “And then, of course, you set new goals for yourself. And I love to sing and I don’t get to do it often enough. And I think I’m going to be really sad and tired, but it’s also going to be, with everything, with every challenge comes beautiful freedom and liberation from whatever fears you have about yourself.”“Thelma & Louise” won an Academy Award for best screenplay.
There have been whispers for years that the film would live on in some form. In 2021, screenwriter Callie Khouri“It’s a completely different animal,” she said. “We’ve got a book and we’ve got music but because of the pandemic, we all haven’t been together in a very, very long time. So, it’s still in its nascent stages, but it’s very promising. I don’t want to say too much about it.”Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories.
