HEATHERS The Musical is due to hit Leeds Grand in the mid-autumn with its tale of dark deeds in an American high school.
The national tour follows two record-breaking seasons at London’s The Other Palace and West End transfer to the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2018, and a WhatsOnStage 2019 award for Best New Musical.
Produced by Bill Kenwright and Paul Taylor-Mills, this high-octane black comedy and rock musical based on the cult teen film that starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.
Greetings and salutations! Welcome to Westerberg High, where popularity is so very a matter of life and death, and Veronica Sawyer is just another of the nobodies dreaming of a better day.
But when she’s unexpectedly taken under the wings of the three beautiful and impossibly cruel Heathers, her dreams of popularity finally start to come true.
Until JD turns up, the mysterious teen rebel who teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it’s murder being a somebody.
The award-winning writing team, Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy’s hit musical adaptation has enjoyed successful runs in Los Angeles and New York, and its European premiere saw it become the highest grossing show at Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Other Palace.
Heathers is scheduled for Leeds Grand on November 3-7. Visit leedsgrandtheatre.com to book tickets.
