Heathers – The Musical is based on the cult classic 1980’s movie of the same name starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. It is the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into to the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously seductive new kid, JD. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobocized butt… but JD has another plan for that bullet.
