Based on the 1989 cult film, HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL combines a punchy rock–musical score with an unflinching exploration of teen angst in a new and deliciously dark comedy. Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder–padded, scrunchie–wearing clique: Heather, Heather and Heather – the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But when misfit Veronica Sawyer meets the troubled and sexy stranger J.D., the two hatch a twisted plan to put the Heathers in their place – six feet under.
