Clueless the Musical Brings 90s Nostalgia to the West End with Mixed Results

The stage adaptation of the iconic teen romcom delivers energetic performances but struggles with originality and production values.

Clueless the Musical, based on the 1995 film, is showing at the Trafalgar Theatre in London until September 27, 2025.
The production retains much of the film’s plot and humor but adds original songs by KT Tunstall and Glenn Slater, which received a lukewarm response for their lack of distinctiveness.
Emma Flynn stars as Cher, delivering a charming performance that grows stronger in the second act, supported by a youthful and energetic cast.
Critics praised the vibrant ensemble performances and some inventive staging but noted that the production's visuals and set design felt underwhelming for a West End show.
While nostalgic fans of the film may enjoy the adaptation, reviews suggest it may not resonate as strongly with younger audiences or those unfamiliar with the original movie.
