After record-breaking seasons in London and New York, the award-winning Heathers the Musical is coming to Queensland. Based on the 1989 film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, this black comedy rock musical is currently touring Australia and New Zealand tour, and is making a stop at the Gold Coast.
Heathers the Musical
In Westerberg High, popularity is a matter of life and death. And when Veronica Sawyer is taken under the wings of the three cruel Heathers, her dreams of climbing up the social ladder start to come true. But, when teen rebel J.D. arrives, she learns the killer truth about the cost of being a somebody.
“We are beyond excited to announce that Heathers the Musical is coming to Australia and New Zealand next year,” said stage director Andy Fickman. “We can’t wait to share this twistedly heartfelt story with audiences down under. It’s a show that deals with love, heartache, sadness, defying expectations and being true to yourself.”
This exciting musical had a sold-out premiere in Los Angeles in 2013, and has gone on to experience three West End seasons and multiple sold-out UK and Ireland tours. In 2019, it won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical, and in 2022, it was filmed and streamed via The Roku Channel.
