Why see Heathers - The Musical?
So Very!
Are we going to prom or hell?! Rebellious Veronica Sawyer's High School struggle with three scrunchie-sporting 'Heathers' comes to a murderous end when her mysterious new boyfriend arrives on the scene with some revenge plans of his own.
Based on the cult 1988 film starring Winona Rider and Christian Slater, Heathers - The Musical is written by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy and received its sold-out developmental premiere in Los Angeles in 2013 after remaining in the works for several years. From there, this dark-but-romantic musical comedy has enjoyed productions on Broadway and in London's West End. Featuring catchy hits including 'Candy Store', 'Dead Girl Walking', 'My Dead Gay Son' and many more, this bonkers adaptation will have you rolling in the aisles as Veronica steps up to defeat the Heathers once and for all.
Dear Diary, My Teen angst has a body count: The story of Heathers
Heathers is the story of Veronica Sawyer and her inner teen turmoil as she traverses a high school ruled over by an intimating trio of scrunchie-loving dictators - the Heathers. Consisting of Heather Chandler, Heather McNamara, and Heather Duke, they stalk the halls of Westerburg High with an iron fist, verbally and mentally destroying anyone who gets in the way of their carefully guarded hierarchy.
But when the mysterious JD comes to class, Veronica may have found herself an ally in her hatred - albeit one with murder on his mind. Pitch-black and raucously funny, its a no-holds-barred look at the social strata of high school and the fate of anyone who might rally against it.
