We are totally butt crazy about this idea! Taylor Louderman (Bring It On) and Dave Thomas Brown (Heathers) led a recent reading of the Clueless jukebox musical. Creator Amy Heckerling also revealed to MTV: "It’s as if the ’90s was one year, and we’re taking songs from the ’90s and playing with the lyrics to make them tell the story." As previously reported, Rock of Ages director Kristin Hanggi will helm the tuner.
Clueless is loosely based on Jane Austen’s Emma and follows Cher, a high school student in Beverly Hills who, alongside best friend Dionne (both named after famous singers of the post who now do infomercials), decide to take a transfer student under their wing. After giving her a makeover and playing matchmaker, Cher discovers that despite her popularity, she herself is in need of a makeover to find the relationship she longs for.
The film starred Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, the late Brittany Murphy, Paul Rudd and Wallace Shawn, who reprised his role as Mr. Hall in the recent workshop.
