30 years on from our first introduction to Cher Horowitz and her iconic yellow plaid fit, Clueless is coming to the West End in a new musical adaptation – and we have the exclusive first look at the cast in action in these shots from the theatre.
The stage version stars Emma Flynn as Cher, Keelan McAuley as Josh, Chyna-Rose Frederick as Dionne, Romona Lewis-Malley as Tai and Rabi Kondé as Murray.
As you can see in the pics, everything we'd hope to see in a Clueless musical is here, not least the classic '90s looks. (Get your backwards Kangol caps ready, guys.)
Amy Heckerling, the writer-director of the original, has written the book for the show, and said: "I couldn't be more excited… I am totally in love with the brilliant new talent we have been working with and can't wait for audiences to be thrilled with their singing, dancing, their heart and humour.
"What better way to kick off this year's 30th anniversary of the Clueless movie than to share the love and laughter of Cher's world with fans old and new."
The music is written by Brit Award winner KT Tunstall (of 'Suddenly I See' fame), with lyrics by the Grammy-winning Glenn Slater, who also wrote the lyrics for Sister Act: The Musical and School of Rock: The Musical.
The show is closely based on the movie we've loved for decades, and all you Bettys and Baldwins can check it out at the Trafalgar Theatre in London's West End until 27 September – you can book your tickets here.
