Heathers: The Musical [DVD]

Product Information

Removal of curse words as well as onstage smoking, drinking and R-rated sexual scenes (note: there are still PG-13 sexual scenes). BOY 1: BELEAGUERED GEEK – (16-18) An embittered social outcast. Voice: baritone (up to F#) or tenor (up to A). I really enjoyed it! I know a lot of people wanted it to be the off-Broadway production, but I actually think the design and direction of the West End version is much stronger. After a London workshop presentation of the musical which incorporated new songs, Heathers premiered off-West End for a limited run at The Other Palace on June 9, 2018. The run sold out, reportedly breaking box office records at the venue.

MS. FLEMING - Aging hippie teacher, still yearning for the day the Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Hungry for the spotlight, resentful of entitled youth. Aging hippie teacher, still yearning for the day the Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Hungry for the spotlight, resentful of entitled youth. The phenomenon has already sold out its acclaimed run at London’s The Other Palace, and has caused quite the stir announcing its move to the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Alexis Soloski, “Heathers review – cult 80s film becomes a candy-coloured musical,” The Guardian (April 1, 2014) BIG BUD DEAN: J.D.’s single dad. Big jolly personality that barely conceals the enormous rage bubbling just below the surface. Quite possibly a serial bomber. In addition, a DVD and Blu-Ray release has been confirmed for 5 June, which also includes 13 minutes of extended interviews with the cast and crew. The Blu-Ray edition will also feature a sing-along version.JASON “J.D.” DEAN – (17) Darkly charismatic, compelling, attractive. Charming on the outside, damaged on the inside. Keen smarts, savage wit. Voice: strong, confident belt to at least an A♭, A preferable; wide emotional range. The West End production of Heathers won two WhatsOnStage awards including Best New Musical and Best Actress in a Musical (Carrie Hope Fletcher). On March 31, 2014, the 25th anniversary of the original film’s premier, Heathers: The Musical opened off-Broadway at New World Stages.

Talura Harms, “Tune-In Alert! Heathers the MusicalStreams on the Roku Channel September 16,” Playbill (Sept 16, 2022) Voice: strong baritone/tenor, power Country/Gospel belt to G, even higher better. NOTE: Sometimes this actor has played BIG BUD/COACH instead of PRINCIPAL GOWAN. RAM’S DAD: Former football player turned suburban dad, has never outgrown his high school glory days. Hates weakness, but capable of soul-searching when tragedy strikes.

Heathers The Musical is based on the 80s cult movie, Heathers, following the twisted relationship between lead characters Veronica Sawyer and Jason Dean, known to all as JD. BOY 2: PREPPY STUD – (16-18) Straightlaced, ambitious, blow-dried. Dreams of being even richer than his parents. Voice: bass (up to E) or baritone (up to G#). Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Resentful of today’s entitled youth, protective of the underdogs. Despite a penchant for self-promotion, genuinely cares about the students in her charge.

Angela Thomas, “Heathers’ school run at The Other Palace extended into 2023,” Musical Theatre Review (July 26, 2022) While The Hollywood Reporter’s David Rooney and The New York Times’ Ben Brantley also felt the show missed the mark, they noted the musical’s appeal to a young audience. Rooney concluded the musical “at least salutes a late-‘80s pop-cultural touchstone with the affection it deserves.” HEATHER DUKE – (17) The whipped beta dog of the three Heathers. Deeply insecure. When she finally becomes Queen Bee, she wields power like a bulldozer. Voice: strong belt to C, D preferred. Alto for chorus. NOTE: In certain choral songs, DUKE and MCNAMARA can switch vocal parts as needed. This production is certainly not for the faint-hearted. Heathers The Musical carries a very similar tone to the film, albeit with an added layer of music. At its core, this is a very dark comedy, as poignant now as the film was upon release.Heatherswas filmed last year at its London home, starring some of its original 2021 off-West End cast, including Ailsa Davidson as Veronica Sawyer. Following the successful Heathers UK tour, Simon Gordon and Maddison Firth joined the London cast and appeared in the filming.

As writer O’Keefe noted in Playbill upon the release of the teen edition in 2016, “By removing all the hot-button [material]…what was left was adolescents trying to be cruel to each other or trying to be kind to each other, trying to hurt each other or trying to save each other, and an amazing thing happened… it removed one extra layer of veil or insulation between the performers and the actual truth of the show, which made for a more intense, moving, awesome, funny and scary experience than we thought.” Christian Slater was, as Lisanne Falk recalls, Winona's discovery.
