Camp cult classic Heathers The Musical comes home to The Other Palace – review
For the uninitiated, Heathers tells the story of the students at American high school Westerberg High. Early on, we’re introduced to protagonist Veronica Sawyer, who is struggling to get by until she does a favour for the Heathers – the popular trio of mean girls at the school.
Suddenly Veronica is catapulted to popular status, and the protections that affords, but at what cost? Over the course of the show we see her struggle as she is forced to choose between former friends and, effectively, surviving high school.
Originally opening Off-Broadway in 2014, Heathers The Musical – based on the cult classic 1989 film – began its journey in the UK back in 2018 at The Other Palace.
It subsequently transferred to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a West End run, followed by a UK tour, but it’s now back in its original home with a new cast.
