When you think of Heathers the Musical, you think of croquet, powerhouse vocals, and colorful blazers. You think of scrunchies, high waisted jeans, and all things 80's. Let me preface this post by saying the show is filled with moments that will have you falling over laughing, brilliant performances by an insanely talented cast of 22, and a creative team made up of the best of the best. It's definitely a show you don't want to miss, specifically because beneath it all is a message for the masses. While some might say it's easy to get distracted by its twisted plot and songs about male genitalia, the overarching theme of the musical shows the true impact we as humans have on one another. In this show, we see just how evil humans can actually be to one another, and how we are called to be soooooooo much better than this. With all the hate going on in the world right now, it is proven that we, as humans, can be absolutely brutal to one another. We will tear each other down to the bone just to make ourselves feel better (look at the presidential election, for example). But this show hones in on the affects that words and actions can have on the minds of others…especially young people.

We all have endured it at one point or another in high school, the popular kids. Maybe you were one, or maybe you were their prey. But there came a time in all of our lives where we just wanted those who tortured us, teased us, or would gossip about us to just..disappear. But never have we acted on such a thing, however Veronica Swayer can say otherwise. Who doesn't want to hear how, or why she was able to take out the most popular girl at Westerberg High School?
The Un-Common Theatre Young Adult Company is thrilled to be presenting the Massachusetts Premier of 'Heathers The Musical' presented at the Mansfield Music and Arts Black Box, Mansfield, on July 14-17, 2016! This production marks the Young Adult Company's 12th year of offering current, cutting-edge theatre to our community and features a cast of 23 high school and college students.
A teenaged girl snarls at another, 'I know who I'm sitting with at lunch, do you?' Yes, high school can be a time of great angst or hellish glee. Depends on which clique you are in! Jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, drama-kids, brains...what was your place in the high school hierarchy?
Based on the classic 1989 film, Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place - six feet under.
If it were a high school student, HEATHERS would've been voted 'Least Likely To Become A MUSICAL.' Released in 1988, the dark comedy about an outsider's plot of murderous revenge against the popular kids' clique almost seems like a backlash to the sunnier view of high school life like THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985), PRETTY IN PINK (1986) and FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF (1986).

TUTS Underground presents the cast of the Heathers: The Musical, which makes its Houston debut on April 28, 2016.

Veronica Sawyer, the only non-Heather of the clique, rejects their ruthless regime when she falls for bad boy J.D. who wants to see all the Heathers six feet under.
