Further casting is yet to be announced.

Emma Flynn said: “I’m beyond excited to step into Cher’s iconic shoes and bring her to life on the West End stage. Alicia Silverstone created such a beloved character in the original Clueless film, and it’s an incredible honor to continue that legacy. I can’t wait for audiences to rediscover Cher’s wit and heart in a whole new way, and I’m thrilled to be part of such a timeless story.”

Keelan McAuley said: “I’m so excited to be embodying Paul Rudd’s character from the original movie, on the stage! I especially can’t wait for audiences to hear the music in Clueless.

The film was adapted into a musical once before in 2018. The off-Broadway production was a jukebox musical featuring musical hits of the 80s and the 90s. However, this new production will feature a completely original score.

However, ticket prices can be steep, making it challenging for budget-conscious theatre lovers to enjoy the magic of live theatre. Here are a few strategies to secure cheap theatre tickets London. Look at our guide detailing the best way to ensure affordable seats, discount theatre tickets for London shows, and last-minute deals.

Book in Advance for Cheap Theatre Tickets London

One of the simplest ways to find cheap theatre tickets London is to book well in advance. Seats higher up in the theatre are priced lower than premium seats, but they are also normally the first to go. If you get in early to secure your London theatre tickets, you can be sure you have the choice of nabbing the cheaper tickets first.

Last Minute Theatre Ticket Deals

If you fancy a spontaneous theatre trip, you can take advantage of last minute theatre tickets in London.

This is particularly good if you are looking to book a theatre trip for a school group. Some shows offer special discounts for students in order to encourage young people to enjoy the magic of theatre.

Off-Peak Performances

If your schedule allows, consider attending off-peak performances, such as mid-week shows. Tickets for these performances are often cheaper than weekend shows, which tend to sell out faster and at higher prices. By enjoying off-peak shows, you not only save money but also enjoy them in a much quieter atmosphere. Try to avoid busier periods, such as school holidays and weekends.

Standing Tickets

Some theatres offer standing tickets at a reduced rate. While this option may not be ideal for everyone, it can allow you to see popular shows for less. Standing tickets are even sometimes available for sold-out performances.
