Based on the film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, the musical was written by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe.

Welcome to Westerberg High, where popularity is a matter of life and death, and Veronica Sawyer is just another of the nobodies dreaming of a better day.

But when she’s unexpectedly taken under the wings of the three beautiful and impossibly cruel Heathers, her dreams of popularity finally start to come true.

That is until JD, the mysterious teen rebel, teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it’s murder being a somebody.

To date, the musical has played in the West End three times and three UK and Ireland tours. It  first premiered in Los Angeles in 2013 before transferring to New York’s New World Stages in 2014.

Heathers is directed by Andy Fickman, with choreography by Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Dan Samson and musical supervision by Jeremy Wootton and Will Joy.
