"Cher Horowitz is the most popular student at Beverly Hills High, renowned for her unique talent at finding love for others," reads the musical synopsis.
"She's about to embark on her biggest project yet – making over her awkward new friend, Tai, and setting her up with the most handsome boy in school. But what happens to Cher when, for the first time, everything is not perfect? This fresh musical comedy is fun, fashionable, and, like, so way cool."
Alicia Silverstone brought Cher to life in the original film, which was inspired by Jane Austen's Emma – with the late Brittany Murphy playing the role of Tai and Paul Rudd appearing as Cher's former stepbrother.
The cast of the original movie also included a young Donald Faison (aka Dr Chris Turk from Scrubs) and Stacey Dash as Cher's BFF Dionne Davenport.

The musical cast will be unveiled in due course.
Clueless's original writer and director Amy Heckerling has penned the script for the musical adaptation, which promises the same '90s nostalgia with a new soundtrack.
"I am so delighted to announce that Clueless is now a musical with all-new songs," she said in a statement. "So if you loved the movie but didn't understand why no one was singing, this is just for you.
"And if you're meeting the characters for the first time, that's cool, they totally rock. Hope to see you there!"
Tickets start from £25 and go up to £150, with special VIP packages available too.
Clueless, The Musical premieres at the Trafalgar Theatre in London's West End on February 15.
