Clueless The Musical - Churchill Bromley / Trafalgar

Is this definitely planned to be pre-west end? If so, I would rather wait to see it in London but I am intrigued.

Oh so this is different to the one that ran Off-Broadway a few years ago then? I remember Amy writing the book for that too but it was a jukebox type. Might well check this out. Was obsessed with the film (and subsequent TV show) when it came out.

Does anyone know who is producing this?

I haven't seen any announcements about casting for this yet, so I imagine they're waiting until they're a little closer to opening?

Opening Monday. From a google search I see there has been a Monday to Thursday £20 best seat offer through several ticket agencies which ended on 6 February.

I usually find out about these things either here or through an email but this one has passed me by. It's not currently on Today Tix either.

Since I last checked the circle has been removed from sale and the two Thursday matinees cancelled but there's good availability in the stalls for most performances.

Anyone know of any current offers ?

K T was on radio 2 this morning. It appears the run at Bromley is a sort of workshop. No West End run has been agreed yet but that's what they are hoping for.

Just got an email saying next Thursday’s matinee performance has been cancelled. I assume it’s due to lack of ticket sales?

Will hold off rebooking as I had bought that ticket in an online deal and not ready to pay £30+ for an unknown quantity just yet.

Intrigued to hear feedback on here.

I enjoyed it, also thought the second act was better than the first. For most of the cast it’s their U.K. debut having done a fair few things in America / Canada. Think it could do another small run somewhere else like the Donmar or the Other Palace. Was told it was essentially a work in progress but didn’t come across like that at all :-)

Really enjoyed this and can’t wait to see it again soon - hopefully!

They made it clear it was a work in progress but it didn’t feel like that at all. Emma Flynn was expert casting and she proper channelled Alicia Silverstone.

Well-known comedy moments in classic films don’t always translate well on to stage but actually this was directed very nimbly. Even to the point of not running a carbon copy of the ‘ugh, as if!’ moment.

Keelan McAuley was excellent as Josh and Tunstall/Slater have given him some great numbers to perform.

The staging and set was brilliant and this feels like the next Legally Blonde in the making. I’d love to hear some of the score back.

Side note - I don’t know if it’s only me but local theatre audiences seem even worse behaved than West End audiences these days. I’m all for opening theatre up etc but recent experiences here and Wimbledon have seen constant rustling and munching from parents and their kids. It’s bad in London but what on earth is going on in our regional theatres?! Took some of the shine off the night and didn’t compel me to go back to Bromley in a hurry…

Looking forward to this, really enjoyed it in Bromley!
