It’s a beautiful frickin’ day! Heathers the Musical is coming back to New York City. The hit West End production of the show is currently on a U.K. tour and it has added the Big Apple to its stop, according to the show's official website. It's not yet clear if this production will play Broadway or Off-Broadway, or who will be in its cast. But we can safely say whatever happens, how very.
The musical adaptation of Daniel Waters' 1989 cult film favorite features a book, music, and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe.
Heathers the Musical follows Westerberg High student Veronica Sawyer, who's on track to become one of the most popular girls in school after befriending the beautiful but cruel Heathers, only to meet a mysterious teen rebel who changes everything.
The show first premiered in 2013 in Los Angeles before running Off-Broadway the following year. This new production originated in 2018 in the West End before going on two national tours, and an encore engagement in the West End earlier this summer. The production is currently on a U.K. tour, with the final stop in early October. The NYC dates and venue will be announced at a later date.
