At Westerberg High everyone worships the Heathers, the exclusive clique, including misfit member Veronica. That is until she falls in love with the mysterious JD, which leads to her being unceremoniously kicked out of the group. After this embarrassment Veronica and JD decide the Heathers will no longer rule Westerberg High and vow revenge against them. A darkly comic satire based on the cult 1980s film, Heathers the Musical is deliciously entertaining and also evokes discussion on topical issues including bullying and teen suicide as well as sexual assault and violence in schools.
