\"Clueless<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Clueless The Musical<\/a> has announced initial casting for its West End premiere next year. The show is set to run at London’s Trafalgar Theatre in February 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the popular 90s film, Clueless The Musical<\/a> features an original musical score by singer-songwriter KT Tunstall with lyrics by Glenn Slater (Sister Act, Tangled, School of Rock). The musical has a book by the film’s original screenwriter Amy Heckerling. The show will be directed by Rachel Kavanaugh (The Great British Bake Off Musical). With choreography by Olivier Award winner Kelly Devine (Come From Away). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clueless London tickets are ava<\/a>ilable now<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clueless The Musical<\/a> will be led by Emma Flynn as Cher Horowitz, who will make her West End debut. She previously played the role in the off-West End premiere of the show in Bromley earlier this year. She will be joined by Keelan McAuley (Grease, Heathers The Musical) as Josh. Further casting is yet to be announced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma Flynn said: \u201cI\u2019m beyond excited to step into Cher\u2019s 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\u2019s an incredible honor to continue that legacy. I can\u2019t wait for audiences to rediscover Cher\u2019s wit and heart in a whole new way, and I\u2019m thrilled to be part of such a timeless story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keelan McAuley said: \u201cI\u2019m so excited to be embodying Paul Rudd\u2019s character from the original movie, on the stage! I especially can\u2019t wait for audiences to hear the music in Clueless. KT Tunstall has created a great new score inspired by the music styles of the \u201890s. Combined with Glenn Slater\u2019s amazing lyrics, they\u2019ve really brought a whole new energy to the story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clueless<\/a> is based on Jane Austen’s Emma and follows popular high school student Cher, who spends much of her time playing matchmaker. The 1995 film starred Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clueless A New Musical<\/a> will play at the Trafalgar Theatre from 15 February 2025 and is currently booking until 14 June 2025. Keep an eye out for further announcements!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
