Newly confirmed performers include Trevor Dion Nicholas as Hal, Jordan Luke Gage as JD, Samuel Edwards as Darryl, Alex Gibson-Giorgio as Jimmy, Letitia Hector as Sarah, Tamlyn Henderson as Harlan/Max and Jack Butterworth in multiple roles.
The production will also feature an ensemble cast comprising performers from several major British musical theatre productions.
According to the production team, previews will begin on September 3 at the Young Vic, with performances scheduled through October 24. The official press night is set for September 16.

The show will be directed by Trip Cullman, whose previous theatre work has earned recognition on both Broadway and the American regional theatre circuit.
According to production information released by the theatre, the musical features a creative team that includes choreographers Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber, alongside scenographers Christine Jones and Brett J. Banakis.
The original Thelma & Louise film became a landmark work in Hollywood cinema due to its portrayal of friendship, personal freedom and female protagonists. Over the decades, it has remained an influential cultural reference point and has been selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry because of its cultural significance.
The producers described the project as a new musical adaptation of the Oscar-winning film, while production materials noted that it has been “reimagined for the stage” by screenwriter Callie Khouri.

The casting announcement comes amid continued interest in stage adaptations of well-known films, a trend that has gained momentum across London’s theatre sector and major international productions in recent years. Industry observers note that producers increasingly view established film titles as a way to attract both theatre audiences and fans of classic cinema.
With rehearsals underway and a full cast now confirmed, the production is preparing for its world premiere later this year, where audiences will get their first look at how one of cinema’s most recognizable road stories has been transformed into a musical stage production.
