The news comes days after Amanda Seyfried missed out on accepting her first-ever Golden Globe due to being in New York.
Amanda Seyfried won her first-ever Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Limited Series for Hulu’s The Dropout on Tuesday night, Jan. 10 — but she noticeably wasn’t there to accept it. The next day, she gave an acceptance speech via an Instagram video and said she was absent because she’s currently in New York working on something “that is magical, and it’s musical.” She shared no further explanation for her absence.
Apparently, the 37-year-old Mamma Mia! star is stationed in New York because she is “deep in the process of creating a new musical,” Variety reported on Jan. 13. An insider told the publication she is currently developing a musical version of the 1991 film Thelma & Louise, which starred Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon as two friends who embark on a road trip together, which turns into a crime spree. Evan Rachel Wood, 35, is also believed to be involved in the project. Both Susan, 76, and Geena, 66, received nominations for the Best Actress Oscar for their roles in the film.
