The full cast has been revealed for Amy Heckerling's new musical Clueless, which opens at the Trafalgar Theatre in the West End on 15 February. The opening will mark 30 years since the original film's release and the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, on whose novel Emma the film is based.

Joining the previously announced Emma Flynn as Cher and Keelan McAuley as Josh, are Chyna- Rose Frederick as Dionne, Romona Lewis-Malley as Tai, Rabi Kondé as Murray, and Isaac J Lewis as Christian. Travis will be played by Blake Jordan, Elton by Max Mirza, Mel / Mr Hall / Driving Instructor by Ryan O'Donnell, Miss G / Ms S / Lucy / Heather by Imelda Warren-Green, and Amber by Emily Florence. 

The full ensemble includes Sophie Elmes, Jacob Fisher, Aoife Kenny, Josh Latunji, James Lim, Ernest Stroud and Grace Eleanor Thomas. Swings are Dylan Gordon-Jones, Lucas Lluna, Lucy Rice, and Rachel Seirian.

Amy Heckerling, who was the original writer-director on the film and writes the book for the new musical, said: "I couldn't be more excited about Clueless, the Musical opening next month.

"I am totally in love with the brilliant new talent we have been working with, and can't wait for audiences to be thrilled with their singing, dancing, their heart and humour. What better way to kick off this year's 30th anniversary of the Clueless movie than to share the love and laughter of Cher's world with fans old and new.”

Based on Jane Austen’s Emma, Clueless follows Cher, a Beverly Hills teenager famed for her matchmaking skills. But what happens when her latest project making over awkward new girl Tai doesn't go according to plan? For the first time, she has to figure out what to do when everything isn't perfect.

The rest of the creative team includes music by Brit Award winning singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and lyrics by Grammy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Glenn Slater. Rachel Kavanaugh directs, with choreography by Olivier Award winner Kelly Devine, music supervision and arrangements by Carmel Dean, scenic design by Mikiko Suzuki MacAdams, costumes by Paloma Young, lighting by Ben Cracknell, and sound by Rob Battle and Sam Clarkson.
