\tWhen Amanda Seyfried won a Golden Globe on Tuesday night, she wasn’t in the Beverly Hills ballroom due to being \u201cdeep in the process of creating a new musical\u201d \u2014 and now we may know what that is. Insiders tell variety<\/em> that Seyfried is involved with a workshop on the musical version of \u201cThelma & Louise.\u201d There’s also talk that Evan Rachel Wood has joined Seyfried in the project.<\/p>\n

\n

\tA \u201cThelma & Louise\u201d musical has been in the works since at least 2021 with the film’s screenwriter, Callie Khouri, attached and writing the book, as well as indie singer\/songwriter Neko Case creating the score. Scott Delman serves as the producer.<\/p>\n

\n

\tReports in 2021 noted that theater director Trip Cullman (\u201cSix Degrees of Separation\u201d) was also on board to helm the musical adaptation of the iconic 1991 film, which starred Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, and won Khouri the Oscar for best writing, screenplay written directly for screen. (The movie, which earned six Oscar noms, is also famous for being Brad Pitt’s first major project.)<\/p>\n

\n

\tOn Tuesday, Seyfried won the Globe for her portrayal as disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s \u201cThe Dropout,\u201d which earned her the statue for best performance by an actress in a limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television. In September, she won an Emmy for the role.<\/p>\n

\n

\tDuring the Globes ceremony, presenters and \u201cYellowstone\u201d stars Mo Brings Plenty and Cole Hauser, who announced Seyfried’s category, said the star wasn’t in attendance because she was \u201cdeep in the process of creating a new musical,\u201d prompting online chatter about what, exactly, she has in the works.<\/p>\n

\n

\tOn Wednesday, Seyfried posted a video on Instagram confirming the reason for her absence without specifying it was for \u201cThelma & Louise: The Musical.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI am in New York,\u201d Seyfried said. \u201cI was on FaceTime with my ‘Dropout’ team, my wonderful ‘Dropout’ team who are the reason I got this award. It is a true honor to have been a part of that. I had to miss it because I am doing something that is magic and it’s musical. So I’m finally getting to do something that I’ve never really done. That’s all I can really say about it. Hopefully more soon. But it’s a lot of work. It’s more fun, and it’s been a great night. So in lieu of any acceptance speech I’m just going to say thanks to all my ‘Dropout’ family and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tSeyfried’s previous musical experience includes starring in both \u201cMamma Mia!\u201d and \u201cMamma Mia 2,\u201d which led some to speculate this week that she might be working on a third edition of the ABBA-infused franchise. Meanwhile, Wood is also no stranger to singing, having performed in the Beatles-themed musical \u201cAcross the Universe\u201d and sang as Anna and Elsa’s mom in \u201cFrozen 2.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
