NEWS - DARK TEEN MUSICAL COMEDY RETURNS TO SHEFFIELD WITH HEATHERS THE MUSICAL


Heathers the musical

Following a smash hit in London’s West End, two record-breaking national tours and sell out runs at London’s The Other Palace, the WhatsOnStage ‘BEST NEW MUSICAL’ winner, Heathers the Musical is returning to Sheffield.


The Cast of Heathers The Musical performing live on stage. There are 15 actors in total, and they are all stood in front of Westerberg High. All actors are stood in a long with their fists in the air.

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. That is until JD turns up, the mysterious teen rebel who teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but its murder being a somebody.
