In an interview with the Los Angeles Review of Books, Aimee Mann revealed that she is working on the music for a stage adaptation of Susanna Kaysen’s memoir Girl, Interrupted. When asked by the interviewer of her next moves, she said, “I’m writing songs for two different musicals. One is my own thing I’m doing with Jonathan Marc Sherman, a playwright in New York. And I was asked to write music for the stage adaptation of the book Girl, Interrupted.” She went on, “So literally right up my alley—it’s about crazy ladies! So that’s very enjoyable. I don’t know when; plays always take forever.”

Girl, Interrupted was adapted into a feature film in 1999 starring Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, and others. Jolie’s role earned her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Aimee Mann’s last album, Mental Illness, arrived last year.
