Heathers The Musical

Why see Heathers The Musical?

She's my best friend. God I hate her

Get those scrunchies ready, The Heathers are back. Making a return to the West End for the fourth time, the wackadoodle teen musical will now head to the Other Palace - the place where it all began! Wickedly funny with music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe, the pair have created musical theatre heaven from the original 80's cult classic, keeping the dark as pitch humour of the original intact.

What's your damage? The story of Heathers

Greetings and salutations. Welcome to Westerberg High where Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody dreaming of a better day. But when she joins the beautiful and impossibly cruel Heathers and her dreams of popularity may finally come true, mysterious teen rebel JD teacher her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it is murder being a somebody...

Wickedly funny and with dazzling book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe, Heathers the Musical is based on the 1988 cult hit, that starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, and produced by Bill Kenwright and Paul Taylor-Mills. With direction from Andy Fickman and electrifying choreography by Gary Lloyd, this is one class production you can't afford to skip.

Amazing, Hilarious, Dark!

Dear Diary, whether to kill yourself or not is one of the most important decisions a teenager can make, the next one is whether to go to Heathers The Musical on the West End - and if you want the short answer, I say yes!

Fabulous, funny and definitely not family friendly…

I loved seeing heathers the musical with my 2 best friends because it was so funny! I’ve said this so many times but it’s like mean girls became really unhinged and the burn book was swapped out for a body count. The humour was well written but not at all appropriate for the family of 3 sitting next to me. Honestly it was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen and I wish I would have the chance to see it again. Thanks! Hope this was helpful! ... Read more

AMAZING

The show is one of the most brilliant productions I have watched. Every song is a hit. Not a single actor stands out as being worse than the others. The simplistic set is outstanding. The lighting is phenomenal. The cast is all incredible. Some moments are genuinely heart-stopping; for instance, “Lifeboat”, the song in which Heather MacNamara confesses her thoughts of suicide, is incredibly emotional. JD’s character is extremely compelling and he has some ridiculously difficult songs; all nailed. ... Read more

A wonderful mix of heartache and joy

Though the theatre itself was fairly small in size, this did not impact the experience of the performance and certainly did not take away from the amount of pure talent on the stage. The show was impeccably cast and each character felt like they were meant to be in that role. Wonderful display of creative young talent which makes me excited for the future of musical theatre! ...
