Like, OMG - the West End just got a whole lot more fashionable for a whole lot longer. Clueless: The Musical, the stage adaptation of the beloved 1995 teen rom-com, has officially extended its run at London’s Trafalgar Theatre. That’s right, Cher Horowitz and her Beverly Hills crew aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Like the title suggests, the musical reimagines the iconic 90s film. And for those who haven’t seen it, here’s the lowdown: Cher Horowitz (Emma Flynn), is the most popular student at Beverley Hills High. She’s sweet-natured, kind and has a totally killer wardrobe. Though she’s better at matching her Louis Voutin handbag to her Jimmy Choo shoes than she is at coupling off her classmates. A wannabe matchmaker who revels in setting up relationships, her heart is in the right place, her plans often go hilariously sideways.
The totally Betty production features a brand-new soundtrack from Brit Award-winner KT Tunstall, and a script by Amy Heckerling (who also penned and directed the original movie). It has quickly become one of the West End’s hottest tickets, with audiences falling head over Mary Janes for its mix of 90s nostalgia, iconic lines, and pre-Tinder matchmaking drama.
Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh (Half a Sixpence), the production has been praised by fans and critics alike.
Whether you’re reliving your 90s glory days or just discovering the cult classic for the first time, there’s still time to catch the West End’s most stylish show.
