Following a critically acclaimed world premiere at Diversionary Theatre in San Diego, this is TL;DR: Thelma Louise; Dyke Remix, a fantasy-driven, irreverent, funny, rock musical for a new generation. From the Richard Rogers winning writing team of EllaRose Chary and Brandon James, Theo presents the Midwest Premiere of this exciting new musical that takes the story of Thelma & Louise and reimagines it into a queer rock musical, in which strong female characters don’t “always gotta die.”.
Heralded as “90-minutes of gay fun” (San Diego Stage and Screen), TL;DR “contemplates questions of queer representation, who gets their happily ever after, and what that even looks like from a highly entertaining feminist and queer perspective.” (BroadwayWorld).
This project is partially supported by a grant from the Evanston Arts Council, a city agency supported by the City of Evanston, and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency.
