Heathers The Musical Tickets

The original movie version of Heathers was a huge hit in 1988, fast becoming a cult film. The stage adaptation made a splash in Los Angeles, USA, before going Off-Broadway during 2014. Now it's over here,  Heathers: The Musical, a rock musical with music, lyrics, and a book by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy. And it stars the wonderful Carrie Hope Fletcher - of Les Miserables and Addams Family Tour fame – as Veronica. Your venue? It's The Other Palace on Palace Street, Westminster.

The theatre is transformed into a riot of 1980s colour for this brilliant black comedy, which plays for a strictly limited season of just eight weeks. It already sold out at The Studio in workshop form, always a great sign, and the musical adaptation is widely tipped as 'hilarious', another good sign. And it features lots of wonderful new show tunes designed to get you dancing in your seat.

The plot?
Welcome to Westerberg High, the school where Veronica Sawyer is just one of hundreds of nobodies, an ordinary girl with an ordinary reputation. But when she is 'adopted' by the school's three most popular girls, all called Heather, all gorgeous and all cruel, her daydreams of high school stardom start to come true. Then the mysterious, glamorous, rebellious JD arrives, and Veronica falls in love. But he ultimately teaches her that while it's awful being a nobody, being a somebody can actually be much, much worse.

Billed as 'wickedly funny', the show is produced by Bill Kenwright and Paul Taylor-Mills, the team behind the critically acclaimed stage adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel Carrie. It's directed by Andy Fickman with exceptional choreography by Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Dan Samson, casting from Will Burton and Musical Supervision by Gary Hickeson.

Who is this show for?
The themes covered in this fabulous show include teenage bullying, high school cliques, sexual assault, rape, murder, suicide and politics, which makes it suitable for people aged 16 or over.
