From The Other Palace to the Theatre Royal Haymarket and back again, *Heathers* shows no sign of slowing down. See the high school homecoming at The Other Palace. *Heathers* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

*Heathers* first entertained West End theatregoers at The Other Palace in 2018, selling 19,000 tickets and becoming the best-selling show of all time at the London venue. Immediately, *Heathers* transferred to the Theatre Royal Haymarket, starring West End sensation [Carrie Hope Fletcher](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/stars-on-stage/carrie-hope-fletcher) as Veronica Sawyer. 

In a [review of *Heathers* for London Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/review-heathers-the-musical-at-theatre-royal-haymarket), "[this] is a musical for the college kids, they’re the ones who are going to see themselves in it, that will be singing these belting songs with their friends. I laughed, witnessed some top-class performances, and woke up singing the songs. How very.” 

### What is *Heathers the Musical* about?

*Heathers* is a musical that follows Veronica Sawyer, a high school “nobody” who dreams of becoming popular. Her call is finally answered when she’s accepted into the ‘Heathers’ clique, sitting at the top of the high school social pyramid. 

When Veronica attracts the attention of mysterious teen rebel Jason Dean, or JD for short, she’s lovestruck. But, as she begins to behave in order to fit in with the crowd, can Veronica remain true to herself? Shocking actions and testimonies await in this show, where it’s murder being a popular person. 

### Is *Heathers the Musical* the same as the movie?

*Heathers the Musical* is based on the 1989 film of the same name, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. The musical adaptation of *Heathers* features a book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe, with songs including “Big Fun”, “Dead Girl Walking” and “Seventeen.” For the 2018 production in London, a new song was written for *Heathers*. “I Say No” debuted in London, and is sung by Veronica Sawyer. 

Tickets to *Heathers* are available now. Book your *Heathers* tickets on London Theatre today.

Wednesday 14th June and Wednesday 2nd August are relaxed performances.

Being a teen girl is murder– literally. The musical adaptation of the 80s cult classic returns to the West End after two successful London runs. 
Veronica Sawyer tries to navigate her final year at high school, where the students are ruled by the popular 'Heathers’ — until new boy JD offers her a different perspective in this high-energy dark comedy. 
Don’t be late for class, get your tickets to *Heathers* at The Other Palace today.

Even though the *Heathers* film tells of American teenagers, the *Heathers* musical found home in Britain. Since it opened at The Other Palace in 2018, the show's played two West End runs and a UK tour. Now *Heathers* makes a grand homecoming to The Other Palace and it's definitely top of the class. 

Over the years, many West End stars have starred in *Heathers*. Carrie Hope Fletcher, Jodie Steele, Sophie Isaacs, Jamie Muscato, Christina Bennington, Jordan Luke Gage, and Frances Mayli McCann have all played the infamous Heathers and J.D. in the West End. Like a real high school, the *Heathers* class changes often, so you’ll want to book many times to see all the stars in action. By the end of *Heathers*, you will wish you could go back to high school. 

## What to Watch For:

- *Heathers* became the first show at The Other Palace to go from a workshop to the West End. Since *Heathers*, *Be More Chill* has also enjoyed the same journey. *Be More Chill* was at the Shaftesbury Theatre in summer 2021.
- Look out for the new songs in *Heathers*, added for the West End production. Heather Duke sings “Never Shut Up Again” in Act One as she becomes “head Heather.” Veronica Sawyer then sings “I Say No” in Act Two.
- Unlike the movie, the musical adaptation of *Heathers* features characters from the afterlife, with appearances from those who are killed-off earlier in the plot. Warning: The ghosts of the dead remain in the costumes (or lack of) that they were wearing when they were killed.

'Dear Diary. July 12th, 2021.' Veronica Sawyer opens Heathers&nbsp;with the phrase "Dear Diary", so it feels fitting to mark the day I battled through the wind and rain to see Heathers&nbsp;in the West End.The growing domination of cult teen musicals is alive and well as the West End reopens. Be More Chill and Six are playing in their largest West End venues to date. Dear Evan Hansen is set to reopen in the autumn. But for all the shared playground politics in teen musicals, no show takes on adult themes quite like Heathers, back at the Theatre Royal Haymarket this summer. Don't be fooled by this youthful cast and expect an upbeat show; there's dark turns aplenty in this sinister musical. But for all its doom and gloom, this is a Heathers that feels closer to being age-accurate, even with its far-fetched storylines.Based on the 1980s film starring Winona Ryder,&nbsp;Heathers&nbsp;follows Veronica Sawyer, a reserved teen that's thrust into the spotlight when joining the 'Heathers' clique. Her relationships change when she falls in love with J.D., ultimately causing her to have a personal check-in and assess how her life has turned so quickly.&nbsp;The original West End's Veronica Sawyer, Carrie Hope Fletcher, left big boots to fill for its newest holder. Now the teenage outcast turned cool girl is played by Christina Bennington, who's sure to be idolised by a younger demographic. Approaching the role with the dewy-skinned mystery of a 17-year-old, it's easy to fall for her, laughing along with her as she fast-tracks to being the most popular kid in school.&nbsp;From the opening number "Beautiful" and beyond, there's never a sense that Bennington preempts Veronica's actions, leaving audiences in the palm of this blue-blazered teen. She's quirky. She's lovable. She's everything you'd want from a teen just trying to do good. Fletcher's conniving, calculated approach has been replaced by Bennington's unassuming approach. Both takes work well, but Bennington's reads closer to acting as if an actual high school dispute has spiralled out of control.&nbsp;And even though I saw the 2018 cast, I was still shocked by how Veronica behaves —&nbsp;a sign that Heathers has not only become slicker, thanks to direction by Andy Fickman,&nbsp;but also demonstrates Bennington's ability to breathe fresh air into an iconic role.She's balanced by Jordan Luke Gage, newly cast as the alluring J.D. This chiselled actor has the teenage heartthrob look down to a t, while turning the creepiness up to level 100 in the final scenes. You wouldn't want to meet this J.D. alone in an alleyway. Duets between Veronica and J.D. capture tender teenage love too; "Dead Girl Walking" has a possessive quality, later polarised by "Seventeen" where it's almost as if you can see the twinkles in their eyes.This musical is about the Heathers though, and this new trio of same-named women are definitely queen bees. Jodie Steele reprises her role as Heather Chandler, adding an exaggerated comedic lease of life into her performance, especially in "The Me Inside of Me." Bobbie Little (as Heather Duke) and Frances Mayli McCann (as Heather Macnamara) complete the trio to rival&nbsp;Mean Girls, sassily stomping all over the audience in their colour-coordinated looks.For all its bright lights and laughs, it'd be remiss to not acknowledge its questionable approach to discussing adult topics. In a sociopolitical climate that encourages body positivity and loving yourself, is placing characters throwing up to lose weight and pretending to commit suicide glamourising mental health crises? Considering the teenagers that flock to Heathers, does the musical inadvertently teach that it's okay to make fun of difference? Sure, the movie&nbsp;Heathers&nbsp;was written in the 1980s, when it is still set, and society has progressed considerably since. But Heathers is a contemporary musical, and being too on-the-nose could be triggering to its young fans.Heathers does have its moments of pure joy though. Olivier winner Lauren Ward steals the show as eccentric teacher Mrs. Fleming in "Shine a Light,"&nbsp;playing to an audience of 250 like it's 25,000. In "My Dead Gay Son,"&nbsp;Simon Bailey and Steven Serlin take audiences to church in a Leap of Faith-inspired number, where rising up is the key to getting through tough times. Clean, sharp choreography by Gary Lloyd is placed in all the right moments too, feeling organic and not like a Glee flashmob.Like a lot of teen musicals, its ending is wrapped up very quickly, simplifying struggles into just becoming friends again like nothing's changed. But few people come to see Heathers for its resolution. They're there for an evening of&nbsp;film nostalgia and imagining they're at Westerberg High. This Heathers cast really has made the musical their own, elevating this teenage tragedy into a razor-sharp show. To take a phrase from the Heathers themselves — how very.<a href="/show/heathers-the-musical">Heathers is at Theatre Royal Haymarket to 11 September.
