Heathers has come a long way since its origins as the iconic 1988 film, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. The musical adaptation first took the stage in Los Angeles in 2013, premiering to sold-out crowds after years of anticipation and development. Its mix of dark humor, biting social commentary, and heartfelt emotion immediately struck a chord with audiences. Soon after, Heathers: The Musical leaped Off-Broadway, where it built a devoted fanbase and earned its spot as a modern cult favorite.
About Heathers
Step into the halls of Westerberg, where Veronica Sawyer finds herself stuck between fitting in and surviving the rule of the three scrunchie-sporting, popularity-obsessed mean girls: the Heathers. But things take a dark and twisted turn when Veronica's new boyfriend, the mysterious and dangerous J.D., arrives with revenge on his mind and a plan to shake up the high school hierarchy for good. Is it prom or hell? In Heathers, you never quite know where you'll end up!
The story didn't stop there. In 2018, Heathers took over London's West End, first at The Other Palace, and later transferring to the Theatre Royal Haymarket due to overwhelming demand. Once again, the show played to packed houses, before returning to The Other Palace, followed by a run at @sohoplace, and embarking on three tours across Europe.
A MUSICAL WITH SERIOUS CRED
Heathers: The Musical isn't just any high school story - its creators Laurence O'Keefe (Legally Blonde) and Kevin Murphy (Reefer Madness) infused it with a perfect blend of satire and emotionally charged songs. With hits like "Candy Store," "Seventeen," and "Dead Girl Walking," the musical takes audiences on a wild, hilarious, and sometimes chilling ride through the halls of Westerberg High.
