Clueless The Musical OPENS TODAY at London’s Trafalgar Theatre!
Bringing together some of the best talent London has to offer, this eagerly anticipated reimagining for the stage begins performances today as part of both the 30th Anniversary of the original film’s release and 250-year Anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth. Tickets are available now with early performances selling out.
Clueless The Musical stars Emma Flynn (Cher) and Keelan McAuley (Josh) in the lead roles. The much-loved characters will be brought to life on stage by a stellar cast: Dionne played by Chyna-Rose Frederick, Tai by Romona Lewis-Malley, Murray by Rabi Kondé and Christian by Isaac J Lewis. Travis will be played by Blake Jordan, Elton by Max Mirza, Mel / Mr Hall / Driving Instructor by Ryan O’Donnell, Miss G / Ms S / Lucy / Heather by Imelda Warren-Green and Amber by Emily Florence.
Clueless The Musical, a new musical comedy based on the Paramount Pictures film, inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma is an exciting musical collaboration from an acclaimed creative team, featuring a book by the iconic voice of a generation, Amy Heckerling (writer-director of Clueless, director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High). Amy was pivotal in shaping the coming-of-age film genre, capturing the essence of teenage life with humour and authenticity.
The original score is by the multi-platinum Brit Award winning singer-songwriter KT Tunstall (writer and performer of such celebrated hits as “Suddenly I See” and “Black Horse and The Cherry Tree”) and the lyrics are by GRAMMY Award® winner and three-time Tony Award® nominee Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid, Sister Act). Together they bring a modern, musical vibe to the score blending the spirit of the 90s with a fresh contemporary sound.
CLUELESS makes its West End premiere under the direction of Rachel Kavanaugh (Chichester Festival Theatre and Regent’s Park Open Air), with choreography by Olivier Award® winner, Kelly Devine (Come From Away).
