Hotly Anticipated New West End Show & Luxury London Restaurant Collaborate on Themed Menu Inspired by Hit Movie
From West Hollywood to the West End, hotly anticipated new musical, Clueless has partnered with luxury Indian restaurant Colonel Saab for a “way cool” dining adventure themed around the iconic Beverly Hills High story.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the hit Nineties movie and the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, fans can get a taste for the story at Theatreland's opulent Trafalgar Square restaurant, with a £60 three-course menu with cocktail and amuse bouche, before a five-minute stroll to the Trafalgar Theatre to watch Cher Horowitz’s enduring tale of popularity and matchmaking.
The experience starts with the Chercules Signature Cocktail, a bold blend of D’YAVOL vodka, zesty lime, and fresh raspberries.
There follows an amuse bouche, inspired by Tai’s makeover; a choice of four starters including You’re a Virgin who Can’t Drive - a madras-spiced pulled chicken chop.
The four Main choices include The Paul Rudd Never Ages Butter Chicken and Beverly Hills Royalty Paneer Pakeezah, topped with silver leaf and fit for the most popular girl at school.
The edible story concludes with a sweet finish, with two desserts including Cher’s Perfect Match Mishti Doi Cheesecake - a Bengali dessert of sweetened and flavoured yogurt cake, Bengali lime and jaggery syrup.
Clueless was inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel, Emma and earned a new generation of fans with the hit Bollywood remake, Aisha in 2010.
Colonel Saab owner Roop Partap Choudhary says: “We’re thrilled to partner with Clueless on this exciting, theatrical menu experience.
"The film and the Aisha Bollywood remake are huge movies in India and the UK and we enjoyed transforming the story from stage to plate with our multi-sensory Clueless dining experience.”
The musical adaptation of the story with a ‘heart of gold and a card made of platinum’ has an original score by multi-platinum singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and lyrics by GRAMMY Award® winner Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid, Sister Act).
Together they blend the spirit of the 90s with a fresh contemporary sound, performed by a stellar London cast.
