The musical version of hit 1990s film Clueless will make its West End debut at the Trafalgar Theatre early next year.
Featuring a book by the original film’s writer and director Amy Heckerling, music by multi-platinum singer/songwriter KT Tunstall and lyrics by Grammy Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee Glenn Slater, the production will be directed by Rachel Kavanaugh with choreography by Olivier Award-winner Kelly Devine.
Announcing the musical’s West End premiere run, Heckerling said: “I am so delighted to announce that Clueless is now a musical with all-new songs. So if you loved the movie but didn’t understand why no one was singing, this is just for you. And if you’re meeting the characters for the first time, that’s cool, they totally rock. Hope to see you there!”
Performances at the Trafalgar Theatre will begin on 15 February 2025 at the start of an initial booking period up to 14 June 2025.
A contemporary re-imagining of Jane Austen’s Emma, Clueless starred Alicia Silverstone as the popular Beverly Hills High School student and amateur matchmaker Cher Horowitz.
The first musical version of the 1995 film which featured adapted pop songs from the 1980s and 1990s, debuted Off-Broadway in 2018. The new version with Tunstall and Slater providing the music made its UK debut with a try-out run at Bromley’s Theatre in February this year.
