Heathers: The Musical Returns to the Big Apple This Summer
Get ready, New York—Westerberg High is back in session! The cult-favourite Heathers: The Musical, based on the iconic 1989 film, is returning to New World Stages in NYC from June 22 to September 28, 2025. After making waves Off‑Broadway in 2014 and lighting up London’s West End, this darkly comic musical is on a triumphant homecoming tour.
What’s the Buzz?
- All‑star cast alert: Tony-nominee Lorna Courtney (best known from & Juliet) is stepping into the role of Veronica Sawyer, while rising star Casey Likes (from Back to the Future on Broadway) takes on the brooding J.D.
- Cult-classic tunes: Expect to hear crowd-pleasers like “Candy Store,” “Dead Girl Walking,” and “Seventeen.” With sharp wit and unforgettable melodies by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe, it’s easy to see why the show has achieved cult status.
