See the extremely popular musical come to New York City. Heathers the musical, now a long-running hit in London, comes to the Big Apple on its 2025 tour.
In Heathers, based on the hit film, Veronica Sawyer navigates the dicey waters of Westerberg High School: her friend is bullied for being fat, she crushes on a mysterious, brooding boy, and the Heathers reign supreme. A trio of girls all with the first name Heather are conniving, thorny, and all-powerful. Will Veronica be able to beat the Heathers at their own game without losing herself along the way?
Heathers features hit songs like “Seventeen,” “Lifeboat,” and “Freeze Your Brain” in this adaptation by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe, two musical theatre writers who know how to write fun, campy roles and songs for young artists — especially in shows that are stage adaptations. Murphy wrote the book and lyrics for Reefer Madness and O’Keefe wrote the music and lyrics for Legally Blonde.
Despite those energetic musicals, Heathers does deal with darker themes, including body image issues, suicide, bullying, and more. However, such issues are what make the musical popular amongst a younger generation.
A four-star hit, “the cult classic film Heathers may have premiered in 1989, but its darkly comedic storyline about high school growing pains still bites,” London Theatre raved. “There’s a reason these young fans keep coming back to the show, regardless of where it is staged. This musical has the power to tap into all of the tempestuous emotions associated with being a teenager.”
