As a dedicated follower of the 90s era, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming transformation of the iconic movie “Clueless” into a musical! Having grown up watching this timeless classic, it’s like a dream come true to witness one of my favorite artists, KT Tunstall, bringing her unique touch to the soundtrack.

The classic ’90s film “Clueless” will be transformed into a musical and is set to debut on London’s West End stage next year.

Exclusive Preview: KT Tunstall, age 49, showcases her rendition of the theme song “Clueless” from the stage production, one of the self-penned tracks she’s contributed to its soundtrack.

KT, famous for her popular tracks Suddenly I see and Black Horse and The Cherry Tree, has openly acknowledged that her latest compositions intentionally evoke a 90s ambiance, drawing inspiration from the music featured in the teen movie, which showcased songs by Radiohead, Coolio, Supergrass, and the Beastie Boys.

She suggested, “I’d love for it to seem as if we’re both attending a concert featuring all our favorite ’90s artists performing together.

Additionally, it’s not only about enjoying a theatrical performance, but also experiencing a musical event where the band seamlessly transitions between different music genres.

Clueless put a 90s LA spin on Jane Austen’s Emma and became a cult classic.

As a seasoned lifestyle guide, I’d like to delve into an intriguing narrative that revolves around none other than Alicia Silverstone’s iconic character, Cher Horowitz. This captivating tale unfolds in the glamorous environs of Beverly Hills, where our protagonist – a wealthy, influential, and adored high school student – embarks on an extraordinary journey, transforming herself into a Matchmaker.

Following her successful matchmaking of two educators, she subsequently focused her efforts on a new pupil named Tai, portrayed by the late Brittany Murphy. This student eventually supplanted Cher as the most admired girl at the school.

Amy Heckerling penned and orchestrated the film, which subsequently led to a book series, a three-season television adaptation, and a lavish Broadway performance.

On the latest London production, Amy expressed her excitement by saying: “It’s such a pleasure to reveal that Clueless has been transformed into a musical, featuring brand-new tunes.

‘So if you loved the movie but didn’t understand why no one was singing, this is just for you.

If it’s your first encounter with these characters, that’s perfectly fine! They’re quite fascinating, I must say. Looking forward to crossing paths with you.

Clueless, The Musical will debut at the Trafalgar Theatre on February 15 of next year. To get your tickets, visit CluelessOnStage.com.

The play is the newest adaptation of a popular teenage cult movie for the stage, following in the footsteps of successful transformations like Mean Girls and Heathers.

This production boasts lyrics penned by Glenn Slater, a renowned composer for stage adaptations like The Little Mermaid, Sister Act, and School of Rock. Rachel Kavanaugh, who directed it, considers the original film to be one of the most heartwarming teen romantic comedies from its era, as opposed to others that lack this warmth and emotion.

Regarding Heckerling’s impact as a pioneering female writer-director in Hollywood, Rachel expressed, “What an honor it is to have her write the script for this musical.

Additionally, it was mentioned that the costumes are now being created, and the iconic yellow plaid style cherished by Rachel will undoubtedly be included in the designs.

The director explained that the designs will clearly resemble those from the movie, yet won’t be an exact replica. Additionally, they’ll need to perform their dances while wearing these costumes.

Kelly Devine (Come from Away) is the musical’s choreographer.
