Readers are being given the chance to take a look behind the curtain and even below the stage of Clueless the Musical at the Trafalgar Theatre.
The Standard is taking viewers on a video tour behind the scenes with Emma Flynn, who plays the lead role of Cher Horowitz. She has previously had parts in Little Shop of Horrors and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
The tour starts off on stage with Flynn walking you through some of her favourite props and pieces from Cher’s faux bedroom. The exploration doesn’t stop there as it visits the depths of the Trafalgar Theatre, where Flynn has not yet been, and goes all the way up to her dressing room on the fifth floor. But, fortunately for viewers, they won’t need to climb those steep flights.

“By the end of this year, my glutes are going to be rock hard!” joked Flynn as she climbs higher and higher through the theatre.
Some fascinating details from the stage show that you can expect to see include Cher’s costumes, like the red outfit that refers to the original movie, and the stunning Calvin Klein dress she wore on her date with Christian.
Plus, get the inside scoop on how Flynn is fitted for wigs and how quick-change looks can still include hairstyling updates.
There is even a wig for a character only portrayed as a portrait, as an extra peek behind the theatre magic that goes into creating a play for the West End.
Clueless the Musical is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh and was written by Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the original Nineties chick-flick.
Tickets are available for shows until September 27 via cluelessonstage.com.
