Heathers The Musical description
Heathers The Musical – Back in the West End for a limited run!
Heathers is dazzlingly good, a fabulous adaptation of the 1988 black comedy movie by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy, an outrageous tale of high school cliques, bitchiness, rivalry, teen bullying and love. It's on at the @sohoplace for a strictly limited 6 week run ahead of its third UK tour.
This musical is star-studded stuff. Laurence O’Keefe delighted us with the Legally Blonde and Kevin Murphy worked on Reefer Madness. No wonder Heathers The Musical is so satisfyingly dark, covering disturbing themes including rape, sexual assault, politics, suicide and even murder. How does it also manage to be so funny? This is such a clever plot.
What's the story behind Heathers The Musical?
Veronica is an ordinary girl whose best mate Martha is being bullied at school. Veronica is more or less invisible in the school's social whirlwind until she gets notices and taken in by the three most popular girls in the whole school, all called Heather. Veronica's life soon changes beyond all recognition but the nasty side of school life proves very uncomfortable. There's none of the respect, friendship and warmth she values. Veronica eventually gets caught up in all sorts of trouble, and when the gorgeous JD turns up at school and she falls madly in love with him, things quickly get even darker.
