Heathers The Musical

This Drama Desk Award nominated musical is the delicious dark story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass, but J.D. has another plan for that bullet. HEATHERS is a hilarious, heartfelt, and homicidal new show based on one of the greatest teen comedies of all time. It is a moving love story, laugh-out-loud comedy, and unflinching look at the joys and anguish of high school.

Book, Music and Lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe
Based on the film written by Daniel Waters
