The hit West End show, based on the cult classic 1989 film, has returned post-pandemic to the Theatre Royal Haymarket, directed by Andy Fickman. In an almost entirely recast return, Heathers the Musical has reopened on London’s West End to delight audiences once more.
For those unfamiliar with the plot, it’s quite a departure from the twee All-American High School schmaltzy affair that the advertising may have you believe – without wanting to give away spoilers, it’s a delightfully subversive tale.
It follows a pair of outsiders seeking to overthrow the existing order of their high school, which sees three young women – the titular Heathers – reign supreme over their fellow students.
