Clueless Review Round Up

Totally Rad or, Like, Totally Not?
With a book by Amy Heckerling (the original film's writer-director), an original score by KT Tunstall, and lyrics by Grammy winner Glenn Slater, this stylish new adaptation of Clueless at Trafalgar Theater is Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh.
The show follows Cher Horowitz as she takes on the ultimate high school challenge: making over new girl Tai and navigating her complicated feelings. But does this musical makeover win over audiences, or is it, like, totally buggin'? Let's find out what the critics are saying!
Critic Reviews Of Clueless
"... this bangin', big-hearted new staging of the 1995 movie Clueless still has plenty to sing about. That's largely down to the bright and breezy score by Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall. But it's also thanks to a sustained burst of Californian sunshine from American starlet Emma Flynn, as wilful but loveable Beverly Hills bimbo Cher." - Daily Mai
"This West End transfer, directed with verve by Rachel Kavanaugh, embraces the satirical spirit of the original, while allowing plenty of room for Tunstall and Slater's musical numbers to shine." - The Stage
"So it's not hard to see why, 250 years after Jane Austen's birth, producers have decided to pep up the West End with this musical version of Clueless, complete with a snappy new score by KT Tunstall. The film's original scriptwriter, Amy Heckerling, has freshened up the dialogue and added subtle tweakments, so that it can strut into the twenty-first century with all the glitz and carefully-manicured chutzpah that made it such a hit in the first place." - The Arts Desk
"... finally, here's Clueless, which like Mean Girls is adapted by its original screenwriter, a sign of a labour of love if ever there was one... she makes a strong case for the enduring appeal of Clueless, her slyly clever valley-girl revamp of Jane Austen's Emma." - TimeOut
"Helped by amiable songs from KT Tunstall, the writer of the film that made a star out of Alicia Silverstone gives us plenty to enjoy in the stage version" - The Times
"The tone here is heightened, wringing laughs from moments that felt more serious in the movie: as Cher, Flynn channels Kristin Chenoweth-era Galinda in Wicked with her whimsical flourishes and pratfalls, stripping all the pathos and vulnerability from the scene where she's held up at gunpoint." - The Independent
