Macquarie Musical Society presents: Heathers the Musical

Welcome to Westerberg High in 1989, where popularity is a matter of life and death. Veronica Sawyer is a nobody until she’s unexpectedly inducted into the most powerful clique: the three beautiful, impossibly cruel, and utterly terrifying Heathers.

Veronica finally has everything she wants, but when the mysterious rebel JD arrives, he teaches her a deadly lesson: it might be hell being a nobody, but becoming a somebody is murder.

Based on the iconic 1988 film, this darkly hilarious and heartfelt rock musical explores teenage angst, high-school hierarchies, and the price of popularity. Join Veronica in this cult classic that proves some things never go out of style... especially murder.

Book, Music & Lyrics by Kevin Murphy & Laurence O’Keefe
