Talya Groves News

Good morning, BroadwayWorld! It's almost Friday! Power through the rest of your week by reading the top Broadway stories!

Broadway Sessions partied like it was 1999 recently as we welcomed the cast of The New Group production of Clueless, The Musical. Cast members took the stage to perform their favorite 90's jams, tapping into the song book of Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Cher, Christina, Britney and even Hanson. Enjoy highlights from performances by Zurin Villanueva, Katie Goffman, Justin Mortelliti, L'ogan J'ones, Jeff Kuhr, Talya Groves, Brett Thiele and more. Plus special performances by our Rising Star, 16 year old Fiona Scott.

BROADWAY SESSIONS is described as an evening of musical performances, games and open mic featuring a new Broadway cast twice monthly. The show is created and hosted by Ben Cameron (Bway Wicked, Aida, Footloose, Dance Captain Dance Attack web series) and features musical director Joshua Stephen Kartes on piano. This Thursday night, 1/10, Broadway Sessions will welcome cast members from The New Group's sold out hit production of Clueless, The Musical and more.

Dove Cameron took to Instagram last night to share the reason she has been missing performances in Clueless, the sold-out off-Broadway musical in which she is starring.

We are kvelling! Original film star, Alicia Silverstone, recently paid a visit to the musical adaptation of her 1994 film Clueless. She stopped in backstage with the latest lady to walk in Cher Horowitz' Mary Janes, television star Dove Cameron, See their visit below!

Below, check out an exclusive clip of 'She's So High,' featuring Cameron and Brown!

The inherent problem with trying to craft a book musical around a score made of previously-existing hit songs is that the lyrics rarely match the character/situation specifics enough to keep the story moving. So film director/screenwriter Amy Heckerling tries finagling around that challenge in the new musical based on her 1995 coming-of-age romantic comedy, CLUELESS.
