WhatsOnStage Best New Musical winner, the stage adaptation of the cult film Heathers, with Jenna Innes as Veronica Sawyer.
Heathers the Musical is coming to the Princess Theatre in Torquay from 27 April to 1 May 2027. It's a stage adaptation of the 1988 cult film that starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, with the book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe. The story follows Veronica Sawyer, who gets entangled with the Heathers — the trio of popular students at Westerburg High — and with the mysterious JD, whose murderous fantasies she helps bring to reality. It's a WhatsOnStage Best New Musical winner, and it arrives here after smash-hit runs in London and New York.
The cast features Jenna Innes as Veronica Sawyer and Jacob Fowler as JD. Verity Thompson plays Heather Chandler, Elise Zavou is Heather Duke, and Billie Bowman takes on Heather McNamara. Kingsley Norton plays Martha, Alex Woodward is Kurt Kelly, and Morgan Jackson is Ram Sweeney. The production is presented by Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor-Mills, the team behind the stage adaptation of Carrie.
It's a dark one. The New York Times called it an outrageous, irrepressible musical, and it's described as wickedly funny, deliciously dark and full of big fun. But it doesn't hold back: 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. It's recommended for ages 14+.
