Based on the 1989 cult film, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, Heathers sees new Westerberg High student Veronica Sawyer be adopted by three beautiful and impossibly cruel girls: the Heathers. However, there are devastating consequences when her popularity dreams come true – and rebellious newcomer J.D. leads her down a dark and murderous path.

Heathers the Musical is directed by acclaimed American screen and stage director Andy Fickman, with choreography by Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Dan Samson, and musical supervision by Jeremy Wootton and Will Joy. It is produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor-Mills.
