The limited West End run of Heathers, directed by Andy Fickman, will run from May 22nd to July 6th at @sohoplace. Following its London stint, the production will kick off its 3rd UK tour, starting at the Royal Windsor Theatre.
The original mean girls of teen movie stardom are back in this deliciously dark musical adaptation from producers Bill Kenwright and Paul Taylor-Mills. The musical is an adaption of the 1989 cult classic movie by the same name, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. Heathers The Musical first captivated audiences during a sold-out run in Los Angeles back in 2013 before an impressive Off-Broadway run the subsequent year. Its success story continued with two prior UK tours and West End appearances in 2018 and 2021, followed by a re-staging at The Other Palace from 2021 to 2023.
Heathers is the story of Veronica and her inner turmoil as she traverses a high school ruled over by an intimating trio of scrunchie-loving dictators - the Heathers. Consisting of Heather Chandler, Heather McNamara and Heather Duke, they stalk the halls of Westerburg High with an iron fist, verbally and mentally destroying anyone who gets in the way of their carefully guarded hierarchy. But when the mysterious JD comes to class, Veronica may have found herself an ally in her hatred - one with murder on his mind.
The production contains choreography by Gary Lloyd, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Dan Samson, designs by David Shields, and book, music, and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe.
After its run at @sohoplace, this production of Heathers will then visit the following: Windsor, Bath, Portsmouth, Cardiff, Newcastle, Milton Keynes, Chester, Sheffield, Stockton, and Torquay.
Stay tuned for further casting and ticket information!
