Heathers the Musical at Gatehouse Theater Company

The teenage kings and queens of the prom, the homecoming and the keg party the golden boys and girls who taunt and belittle the smart and sensitive have become first-choice villains in contemporary pop culture. Theyre the winners we love to hate, and one of the last minority groups (along with their parents, the 1 percent) that its acceptable to mock savagely. The latest entertainment to capitalize on this satisfying loathing is Heathers, the rowdy guilty-pleasure musical. This is a show that turns an Ohio senior class in-crowd into a lineup of piatas, waiting to be busted open. And when I say busted open, I am not speaking metaphorically. - New York Times
