Story
Heathers: The Musical is the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers.
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.
Brought to you by the award-winning creative team of Kevin Murphy (Reefer Madness, “Desperate Housewives”), Laurence O'Keefe (Bat Boy, Legally Blonde) and Andy Fickman (Reefer Madness, She's the Man). Heathers The Musical is a hilarious, heartfelt, and homicidal new show based on the greatest teen comedy of all time.
With its moving love story, laugh-out-loud comedy, and unflinching look at the joys and anguish of high school, Heathers will be New York's most popular new musical. Are you in, or are you out?
Ingenious, naughty and very funny. Heathers still cliques.
Heathers The Musical should score with just about everyone.
Cue the corn nuts — and much-deserved applause. HOW VERY.
Cast of characters
** Please note the role of Miss Flemming has been precast
Veronica Sawyer
(17) Burns to be both cool and kind, but doesn't yet know how to be both at the same time. Fierce sense of right and wrong, keen sense of ironic humor. Thinks she's an old soul, but she's still innocent enough to be blindsided by love or shocked by cruelty. Vocal range: High belting required, up to A♭. Must have dynamic and stylistic range.
JD (Jason Dean)
(17) Darkly charismatic, compelling, attractive. Charming on the outside, damaged on the inside. Keen smarts, savage wit. Vocal range: Strong, confident belt to at least an A♭, A preferable; wide emotional range.
Heather Chandler
(17) The richest, hottest, cruelest girl in town. Relishes power and wields it without fear, patience, or mercy.Vocal range: Strong belt to F or higher preferred. Mezzo for chorus.
Heather Duke
(17) The whipped beta dog of the three Heathers. Deeply insecure. When she finally becomes Queen Bee, she wields power like a bulldozer.Vocal range: Strong belt to C, D preferred.
Heather McNamara
(17) Beautiful, innocent, stupid. Can be mean on command if Heather Chandler orders it, but actually quite vulnerable and fearful.Vocal range: Strong belt to D♭, D preferred. Soprano for chorus.
Ram Sweeney
(17) Linebacker. Big, insensitive to the feelings of others, ruled by appetites. Vocal range: Strong baritone, belt to G, some falsetto useful.
Kurt Kelley
(17) Quarterback and captain. Chiseled, rude, entitled, cocky. He's the brains in the friendship with Ram. Vocal range: Tenor, strong belt to A♭ or A, some falsetto.
Martha Dunstock
(17) Nicknamed “Martha Dumptruck”, the opposite of confident and popular. Huge and beautiful soul, optimistic even in the face of rejection.Vocal range: Strong belt to E or F, wide vocal expression.
**Miss Flemming
Aging hippie teacher, still yearning for the day the Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Resentful of today's entitled youth, protective of the underdogs. Despite a penchant for self-promotion, genuinely cares about the students in her charge. Vocal range: Great belt up to C, higher always welcome.
Kurt's Dad
Straight-laced, very conservative, also former football player. A simple guy, not book smart, you'd be happy to share a beer with him. fuibVocal range: Strong baritone/tenor, power Country/Gospel belt to G, even higher better.
Veronica's Dad
Easygoing and distant.Vocal range: Bari/Tenor
Principal Gowan
Rumpled, burned out, hates conflict.
Ram's Dad
Former football player turned suburban dad, has never outgrown his high school glory days. Hates weakness, but capable of soul-searching when tragedy strikes. Vocal range: Country/Gospel belt to A♭, higher welcome.
Big Bud Dean
J.D.'s single dad. Big jolly personality that barely conceals the enormous rage bubbling just below the surface. Quite possibly a serial bomber.
Coach Ripper
Stalwart, man's man; quick to defend his players.Vocal range: Baritone/tenor, power
Veronica's Mom
Easygoing, distant, yet capable of laying down the law.Vocal range: Mezzo Soprano
