CLUELESS, The Musical is extending its run on the West End stage due to phenomenal demand for tickets.
A new trailer for the musical extravaganza dropped today featuring leading lady Emma Flynn as Cher Horowitz.
The show opened at London's Trafalgar Theatre last month and will now run until 28 March next year.
Clueless, The Musical has had rave reviews since it started, with the cast including Keelan McAuley as Josh, Chyna-Rose Frederick as Dionne, Romona Lewis-Malley as Tai, Rabi Kondé as Murray, and Isaac J Lewis as Christian.
Scottish musician KT Tunstall wrote the original score for the production and told The Sun it was one of the best projects she had worked on.
"We've been working on this for five years," KT said.
"We were unbelievably lucky to have found Emma and Keelan as the leads, they're from another planet."
Alongside lyricist Glenn Slater, KT revolutionised how musicals are written and performed, with the band playing live for eight shows a week.
"We're actually really pioneering on this show by using an electronic drum kit with 24 different sounding drum kits," KT explained.
"You can go straight from a Green Day inspired song to an NSYNC one – it means the band is chameleonic.
"Technology can be an amazing thing, particularly with the kind of kit that we're using for this show.
"I was aware as a musician that this band will play eight times a week for months on end. I think it's a really positive thing for them to be challenged."
Although the musical has been a long time in the works, and has been a real labour of love for KT, she admitted it's not all been a chore.
She added: "It's just hours of bangers from different genres. It's Janet Jackson to Nirvana and then Supergrass.
"And at the same time this is just an iconic era for me. It's the 20th anniversary year of my first record Eye To The Telescope. And it's the 50th anniversary of me as a human being."
