HEATHERS: The Musical is the darkly delicious satire based on the iconic teen-comedy movie of the 80s. Veronica Sawyer, a brainy teenage misfit, hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. Once there, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid, J.D. But before she can get comfortable atop the food chain, she runs afoul of Heather Chandler, the almighty queen of the school. Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass…but J.D. has other plans, as a series of murders of Westerberg’s most popular students reveals the real-cut throat nature of teenage popularity.
