The West End is set to welcome a vibrant new addition as Clueless, The Musical makes its premiere at Trafalgar Theatre on 15 February 2025. Starring Emma Flynn as the iconic Cher Horowitz and Keelan McAuley as Josh, the musical promises to be a fresh and lively adaptation of the beloved 1995 film, which itself was inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma.
Emma Flynn, known for her roles in Beautiful and Little Shop of Horrors, will be making her West End debut. Keelan McAuley, noted for his performances in Heathers, The Musical and Grease, brings his considerable talents to the stage as Josh. The show will feature new music by KT Tunstall with lyrics by Glenn Slater, encapsulating the essence of the '90s with a contemporary twist.
The musical follows Cher Horowitz, the most popular girl at Beverly Hills High, who is known for her match-making skills. Her latest project involves transforming her awkward new friend, Tai, into the school belle. As Cher navigates love and friendships, she discovers that when it comes to matters of the heart, she might not have all the answers.
Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh and choreographed by Kelly Devine, Clueless, The Musical is expected to bring the same wit and charm as the original film, updated with a modern musical flair that will appeal to both fans of the movie and a new generation of theatregoers.
