Adapted for the stage by original Clueless writer-director Amy Heckerling, with new music by KT Tunstall and lyrics by Glenn Slater, Clueless The Musical follows the wealthy and stylish teenager Cher Horowitz as she navigates high school, friendships, and romance in Beverly Hills while playing matchmaker and learning life lessons.
Inspired by the popular 1995 coming-of-age comedy film and loosely based on Jane Austen's Emma, this musical made its way to the West End following a successful premiere at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley in 2024.
Clueless The Musical stars Emma Flynn as Cher alongside Keelan McAuley as Josh. They are joined by Chyna-Rose Frederick as Dionne, Romona Lewis-Malley as Tai, Rabi Kondé as Murray and Isaac J Lewis as Christian. 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.
The full ensemble comprises Sophie Elmes, Jacob Fisher, Aoife Kenny, Josh Latunji, James Lim, Ernest Stroud and Grace Eleanor Thomas. Swings are Dylan Gordon-Jones, Lucas Lluna, Lucy Rice and Rachel Seirian.
Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, the musical revived critical acclaim when it opened with the Independent describing it as "fun and totally fabulous" and “big-hearted, bangin’ and flawless” (Daily Mail).
There are already plans for a UK tour to kick off in September 2026 at the Bromley Churchill Theatre, with further information coming soon.
Clueless The Musical will play its final performance at the Trafalgar Theatre on Saturday 23 August.
