A new musical adaptation of Clueless is to make its UK premiere in 2024. Adapted from the 1995 movie of the same name, Clueless will have a development run at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre from 12 – 24 February.

Clueless is adapted for the stage by Amy Heckerling who wrote and directed the film, based on Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma with an updated setting in modern-day Beverly Hills.

The show was previously seen Off-Broadway in New York in 2018 starring Dove Cameron. Then a jukebox musical, it featured songs from the 80s and 90s including U Can’t Touch This by MC Hammer, Barbie Girl by Aqua and Torn by Natalie Imbruglia.

This new version features an original score with music by the multi-platinum singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, and lyrics by Grammy winner and three-time Tony nominee Glenn Slater.
