The black comedy rock musical based on the 1988 cult film Heathers, with a captioned performance, at Hull New Theatre.
Heathers the Musical is back at Hull New Theatre from Tuesday 16 to Saturday 20 February 2027. It's a black comedy rock musical set at Westerberg High, where three cruel Heathers take Veronica Sawyer under their wings. The story is based on the 1988 cult film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, and it's presented by Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor-Mills, the team behind the stage adaptation of Carrie.
It's a production that's travelled a fair bit before reaching Hull, with runs in London and New York and a WhatsOnStage award for Best New Musical. The book, music and lyrics are by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe, with direction by Andy Fickman and choreography by Gary Lloyd. Critics have described it as "High School Musical's darker, dirtier cousin" (Sunday Express) and "an outrageous, irrepressible musical" (New York Times).
There's a fair bit to be aware of before you book. It's aimed at ages 14+, and the production contains haze, loud noises including gunshots, flashing lights and strobe, strong language and mature themes including murder, suicide, sexual violence and references to eating disorders. For those who need it, there's a captioned performance with dialogue on a screen on stage.
