Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Happy Monday!

Heathers: The Musical has recently enjoyed a limited West End run, following an extremely successful production debuting at The Other Palace in London. The show is based on the 1988 film of the same name and although it is overwhelmingly a comedy piece, dark issues are tackled including bullying, suicide and homophobia.

GHOSTLIGHT RECORDS has announced that Heathers the Musical: Original West End Cast Recording will be released on CD online and in stores on Friday, May 31.
