As If! Amy Heckerling's Clueless Musical Could Be Coming to Broadway, Starring Katy Perry

Wait, WHO’S a virgin who can’t drive?! Clueless screenwriter and director Amy Heckerling revealed to Vulture that she is in the early stages of working on a musical adaptation of the 1995 film for Broadway and has penned a book and lyrics. No potential composer was mentioned. But who would play Beverly Hills princess Cher? Is it possible that Katy Perry will roar on the Great White Way?

“Perry has expressed interest, and I love her to death,” Heckerling said. While the writer acknowledged the pop superstar’s crazy schedule, she also offered another suggestion for the show’s lead: “Maybe Iggy [Azalea] wants to do it!” Her appreciation for the film is no secret, as seen in the music video for her summer hit “Fancy.”

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 and Paul Rudd.
