Clueless the movie celebrates – gulp – its 30th birthday this year, but its protagonists are forever young and wrinkle-free, the posturing teenage alpha males and females of Beverly High, Los Angeles.

There’s not an enormous amount of conflict in the plot – Cher needs to learn to eat a good helping of (low-calorie) humble pie – but Silverstone’s effervescence carried this off on screen. In a live-action medium, the narrative seems somewhat stretched, resulting in a try-hard show that has only a limited effect.

“Human Barbies” is a witty ditty sung by Cher’s ex-stepbrother Josh (Paul Rudd in the film, here played by Keelan McAuley), as he details with relish her dismissive treatment of other people. That former familial connection – however brief – between our central romantic pair still sits just a little awkwardly with me.
Where Rachel Kavanaugh’s production scores most highly is in its very peppy dancing; much kudos to choreographer Kelly Devine. Whereas that other recent musical The Devil Wears Prada hardly bothered with any movement, here the stage bursts with youthful vitality – just like Cher and her classmates. There is a glorious section of old-style swing dancing, in which our heroine participates with gusto.
