THE HILARIOUS, HOMICIDAL '80S CULT CLASSIC FILM IS NOW A DARKLY DELICIOUS MUSICAL. ARE YOU IN, OR ARE YOU OUT?
Get ready for the darkly hilarious and wildly entertaining Heathers The Musical, a laugh-out-loud comedy, and unflinching look at the joys and anguish of high school. Based on the cult hit film starring Christian Slater and Winona Ryder, this edgy show takes you deep into the halls of Westerburg High, where misfit Veronica Sawyer finds herself entangled with the school's most popular—and dangerous—clique, the Heathers. With a killer score, biting wit, and unforgettable characters, Heathers The Musical explores high school drama, love, and revenge like you've never seen before. It's a rebellious, high-energy ride full of wicked fun. Don’t miss this show that everyone will be talking about—big fun is guaranteed!
