Dove Cameron, who played Amber Von Tussle in NBC’s live broadcast of Hairspray, will star in The New Group’s world premiere of Amy Heckerling’s Clueless, The Musical, based on her 1995 film of the same name.
Like the Alicia Silverstone-led film, the musical concerns Cher (Cameron), a girl so optimistic she can’t see that her bungling attempts at playing Cupid disguise her own fashion-plated isolation.
Cameron, whose credits also include Disney Channel’s Descendants movies, won a 2018 Daytime Emmy Award for her work in Disney Channel’s Liv and Maddie. She also appeared as Sophie in the Hollywood Bowl’s 2017 presentation of Mamma Mia!
No word yet on further casting.
