She also scored a hit with her first TV series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/2016\/mar\/16\/nashville-country-tv-show-larger-than-life\">Nashville<\/a>, which lasted six seasons. And at 68, she is taking on another first by penning a musical theatre version of Thelma &amp; Louise, hoping her luck hasn\u2019t run out. \u201cI hope that this is not the end of that streak,\u201d she laughs. \u201cThat I don\u2019t hit a wall here and slide down it like Wile E Coyote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thelma &amp; Louise isn\u2019t an obvious bet for a musical. A story that features an abusive marriage, attempted rape, murder and double suicide doesn\u2019t scream \u201cjazz hands\u201d, and Khouri had turned down offers before. \u201cMy agent said, \u2018There\u2019s a guy who wants to meet you to talk about doing Thelma as a stage musical,\u2019\u201d says Khouri. \u201cAnd I just thought, \u2018Well, that\u2019s nuts!\u2019\u201d But the iconic 90s film \u2013 starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis (and a young Brad Pitt) \u2013 is an ultimately triumphant piece of cinema: a feminist road movie driven by the power of female friendship, which still captures imaginations. Khouri was eventually convinced. It\u2019s been a decade in the pipeline, but things took off when uber-producer Sonia Friedman came on board, and now it has premiered at London\u2019s Young Vic, starring Rachel Tucker and Amy Lennox.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/stage\/2026\/sep\/08\/thelma-and-louise-writer-prey-musical-callie-khouri\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/stage\/2026\/sep\/08\/thelma-and-louise-writer-prey-musical-callie-khouri\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\">Read More<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/9d6f8ae0c3883befc6242dd136e61e6432f8f778\/0_36_2400_1920\/master\/2400.jpg?width=140&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=8b01144b76e2fe2881ea4af4a8401dbf\" title=\"\u2018It\u2019s not good to walk through the world feeling like prey\u2019: Thelma &amp; Louise\u2019s writer on turning a movie classic into a musical\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was her very first film and it won her an Oscar.
