Clueless has announced a tour for next year.

Based on Jane Austen’s hit novel, the piece is adapted from the hit 1995 movie of the same name starring Alicia Silverstone. It follows Cher Horowitz, the most popular student at Beverley Hills High, who revels in setting up relationships and generally meddling with her classmates’ lives.

Featuring a book by Amy Heckerling (the writer and director of Clueless), the show is scored 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”). The lyrics are by Grammy Award winner Glenn Slater (Sister Act, Tangled), with direction by Rachel Kavanaugh (Half a Sixpence) and choreography by Lizzi Gee (Groundhog Day)

The musical is currently playing in the West End, starring Emma Flynn as Cher and Keelan McAuley as Josh.

You can find out about that production, which has entered its final few weeks in London, here.

A UK tour will commence in September 2026 at Bromley Churchill Theatre, where the show enjoyed a try-out season. There are additional plans underway to bring the musical to Mexico City, Australia, Japan, and Europe.

Full tour dates and casting are to be revealed.
