The modern spin on Jane Austen’s Emma gets another timeless makeover from the original film’s writer-director alongside a majorly acclaimed creative team. Featuring a book by the iconic voice of a generation Amy Heckerling (writer-director of Clueless, director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High), an original score by the multi-platinum singer-songwriter KT Tunstall (writer and performer of such celebrated hits as “Suddenly I See” and “Black Horse and The Cherry Tree”), and lyrics by Grammy® winner and three-time Tony® nominee Glenn Slater (Sister Act The Musical, Tangled), CLUELESS is directed by the acclaimed Rachel Kavanaugh (Chichester Festival Theatre, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre) with choreography by Olivier Award® winner Kelly Devine (Come From Away). Cher Horowitz is the most popular student at Beverley Hills High, renowned for her unique talent at finding love for others. She’s about to embark on her biggest project yet – making over her awkward new friend, Tai, and setting her up with the most handsome boy in school. But what happens to Cher when, for the first time, everything is not perfect? This fresh musical comedy is fun, fashionable, and, like, so way cool.

Sponsored Event Don’t miss the unforgettable musical comedy THE BOOK OF MORMON in London’s West End, at the Prince of Wales Theatre. After stunning audiences on both Broadway and the West End, winning 9 Tony Awards – including Best Musical – and even winning a Grammy award for the soundtrack, THE BOOK OF MORMON musical is a certified theatrical phenomenon. Comedy duo Trey Parker and Matt Stone – the geniuses behind the animated hit South Park – joined forces to create this hilarious musical. THE BOOK OF MORMON breathes three-dimensional, all-singing, all-dancing life into the absurdities of Mormon dogma, whilst simultaneously being incredibly rude, potentially offensive and above all, unexpectedly endearing. Book your THE BOOK OF MORMON theatre tickets with LOVEtheatre today! What is The Book of Mormon about? This musical tells the story of two Salt Lake City Mormons sent as missionaries to Uganda, hoping for a few baptisms and a couple of conversions. Instead, they are welcomed by some very harsh realities and a particularly unpleasant warlord. The lyrics are guaranteed to have you weeping with laughter, and you’ll almost certainly be humming the music by Avenue Q’s Robert Lopez for weeks after. It’s fun, lightweight, but thought-provoking, too; addressing everything from consumerism to religion, The Book of Mormon is a musical like no other. Its staggering and well-deserved success makes it a real must-see. === This is a Loopla-managed event listing. Bookings are made directly on the LOVEtheatre website.
