Heathers is finally back in the West End and we’re here to say we’ll Never Shut Up Again about this cult-classic musical. We took a trip to the Candy Store at The Arts at Marble Arch, for one of the very exclusive strictly limited performances of Heathers the Musical.
The show is set in a small American town, in the halls of Westerberg High, where popularity is a matter of life and death. Think Mean Girls, but with a dash more dark comedy and a lot more death. If you’re familiar with the 1988 film, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, you’ll recognise the iconic lines and nods throughout the show. But even if you’ve never seen the film, you are in for a wild journey from an unsuspecting High School story with jocks, cheerleaders, cliques and dorks, to the inner dark thoughts of trouble teens whose ‘teen angst bullsht’* has a body count.
This stellar cast is bubbling with energy and talent, with Gerardine Sacdalan (previously Juliet in &Juliet UK Tour) as Veronica Sawyer and Louis Hearsey as J.D., the toxic Bonnie & Clyde couple are full of chemistry. Gerardine Sacdalan’s rendition of ‘I Say No’ left jaws dropped in the auditorium, and now a well-earned number 1 position in my personal collection of favourite Veronicas.
Liberty Stottor (previously Jane Seymour in SIX) as Heather Chandler, is an absolute natural as the ‘Mythic Btch.’*. But a notable special shout out to the unstoppable comedy duo of Markus Södergren as Kurt Kelly and Beau Jackson as Ram Sweeney, with impeccable synchronised timing and the willingness to commit to the bit. With unmatched vocals taking on the most iconic riffs in musical-theatre, comedic timing that will have you wheezing for air, this cast of Heathers the Musical is an absolute must-see.
If you’re looking for Big Fun, look no further than Heathers The Musical at The Arts Marble Arch for its strictly limited run, 52 performances only… so by the time you’re reading this you might have minimal chances left. Don’t blow it, book now.
