From the team that brought Grease to The Events Centre last year, Sunshine Coast producers, Riley Cope and Marina de Jager are partnering up again to produce the smashing musical hit, Heathers from 31 October 2024.Heathers The Musical is the darkly delicious story based on the cult classic 80’s film that follows the story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who longs to be cool like the clique of it-girls that runs Westerberg: the unaffected, unattainable Heathers. Unfortunately, in addition to awesome levels of popularity, the Heathers are also cruel, choosing to mock and bully their kingdom into submission. When Veronica uses her skills as a forger to get the Heathers out of detention, she impresses their leader Heather Chandler— so much so that they agree to let her into their exclusive club. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass...but J.D. has another plan for that bullet.
When an innocent drink mixup results in the accidental poisoning of Heather Chandler, JD convinces Veronica to stage Heather’s suicide. The results are so successful that Veronica and JD, exhilarated with their newfound power, resolve to rid Westerberg of the cruelly popular elite forever.
With raw, edgy, and culturally relevant numbers like “Beautiful,” “Candy Store,” and “Seventeen,”, electrifying choreography and a wickedly funny script, Heathers the Musical brings the cult classic 80’s film to life in a thrilling tale of love, betrayal, and the perils of teenage hierarchy.
So come see this hilarious, heartfelt, and homicidal show that dares to ask, are you in or are you out?
