Stray Cat Theatre Presents AZ Premiere of HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL, Starting Tonight

Stray Cat Theatre presents HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL, with book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe; based on the film written by Daniel Waters, running tonight, December 4 - Sunday, December 20, 2015. Directed by Louis Farber, with musical direction by Curtis Moeller and choreography by Nicole L. Olson.

What's your damage? Fresh out of New York, Stray Cat is thrilled to be the first group of cats to bring this hilarious, blockbuster Off-Broadway hit to the Valley. Based on the classic 1988 film, HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL is the darkly twisted 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. Are you IN? Or are you OUT?

*note: like most Stray Cat shows, this one contains adult language and situations. If this were a film, it would likely somewhere between a PG-13 and an R.
