A musical adaptation of Girl, Interrupted featuring original songs by Aimee Mann has been in the works for nearly a decade. The production will finally come to the stage later this year, and with it, King Princess’ theatrical debut. Billboard reports that Mikaela Straus will star as Lisa, the same role that earned Angelina Jolie her Best Supporting Actress Oscar in the 1999 film based on Susanna Kaysen’s memoir.

Previews for Girl, Interrupted begin May 13 at New York’s Public Theater. The show’s official run extends from June 4 through June 21. Mann has been working on the project since at least 2018, when she revealed her involvement in an interview with the Los Angeles Review of Books. She wrote her latest album, 2022’s Queens of the Summer Hotel, in tandem with the music for Girl, Interrupted.

King Princess isn’t new to acting altogether. Straus had a recurring role in the second season of the Hulu series Nine Perfect Strangers and played the daughter of Hugh Jackman’s character in Song Sung Blue, the 2025 movie about a Neil Diamond tribute band. She appears alongside Este Haim, Maya Hawke, and Julia Fox in Will Gluck’s forthcoming rom-com One Night Only.
