As If! Amy Heckerling Reveals Clueless Musical Details

We could really use some sort of herbal refreshment at this news! Clueless creator Amy Heckerling has now written the book to the previously reported stage adaptation of the hit 1995 movie. “It’s a jukebox musical,” she told ET, also confirming that 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 and Paul Rudd. According to Heckerling: “Well casting—that’s like going to be like the main problem."

Leave it with us, Ms. Heckerling. We're already compiling a list of virgins who can’t drive (but can belt). They may or may not include Katy Perry.
