What's Your Damage? HEATHERS THE MUSICAL to Make Vegas Debut

The Onyx is excited to present the Las Vegas premiere of HEATHERS THE MUSICAL based on the 1988 film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

"Movie lovers of a certain age have an affinity for Heathers. We did a promotional event for the show at a recent First Friday and so many 30 and 40-somethings shared their favorite lines from this utterly quotable script," says director Troy Heard. "The teen angst level of the characters is through the roof, and the absolutely stunning and beautiful music in this show only helps it soar."

HEATHERS THE MUSICAL is the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather's aerobicized ass... but J.D. has another plan for that bullet.

Written by the award-winning creative team of Kevin Murphy (Reefer Madness, "Desperate Housewives") and Laurence O'Keefe (Bat Boy, Legally Blonde), HEATHERS THE MUSICAL is a hilarious, heartfelt and homicidal new show based on the greatest teen comedy of all time. With its moving love story, laugh-out-loud comedy and unflinching look at the joys and anguish of high school, HEATHERS will be Las Vegas's most popular musical. Are you in, or are you out?

Performances of HEATHERS THE MUSICAL will be April 7 through 30, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm., with a 5:00 p.m. performance on Sunday, April 17. Tickets are $25 for General Admission and $28 for VIP seating. Tickets may be purchased online at www.onyxtheatre.com or at the Box Office an hour before show time.
