The New Group's world-premiere production of Amy Heckerling's Clueless, the Musical opened on Tuesday, December 11, at the Pershing Square Signature Center.
Kristin Hanggi directs the production, which stars Dove Cameron as Cher. Also featured in the cast are Ephie Aardema (Tai), Sara Andreas (Heather), Gilbert L. Bailey II (Murray), Dave Thomas Brown (Josh), Will Connolly (Travis), Tiffany Engen (Swing), Katie Goffman (Swing), Danielle Marie Gonzalez (Lucy), Tessa Grady (Amber), Talya Groves (Summer), Chris Hoch (Mel, Mr. Hall, DMV Instructor), L'ogan J'ones (Max), Jeff Kuhr (Swing), Darius Jordan Lee (Sean), Justin Mortelliti (Christian), Megan Sikora (Miss Geist, Ms. Stoeger), Brett Thiele (Elton), and Zurin Villanueva (Dionne).
Clueless, a modern spin on Jane Austen's Emma, features a score that "reimagines '90s hits into ingenious parodies and yearning monologues for her lovesick characters."
Joining Hanggi on the creative team are Kelly Devine (choreography), Beowulf Boritt (scenic design), Amy Clark (costume design), Jason Lyons (lighting design), Gareth Owen (sound design), Darrel Maloney (projection design), Ethan Popp (musical supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations), and Matthew Smedal (musical direction).
