News summary

Heathers the Musical, based on the 1989 cult film, is returning to New York City for a limited engagement at New World Stages from June 22 to September 28, 2025, after successful runs in London and the UK. The show, featuring music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe, tells the darkly comedic story of high schooler Veronica Sawyer, who gets involved with a trio of popular girls and a rebellious classmate with dangerous intentions. The musical has been updated since its initial Off-Broadway run in 2014, incorporating new songs and script revisions that will debut in this upcoming New York production. Meanwhile, a local version is currently being performed at Cohoes Music Hall, showcasing advanced teen actors alongside professionals, and emphasizing the cultural significance of the story which addresses issues like bullying and violence in schools. Both productions highlight the continued relevance of the narrative and its ability to resonate with younger audiences, while also providing a nostalgic look at 1980s culture. Heathers the Musical has garnered a passionate fanbase, known as the 'Corn Nuts', and has received accolades including the 2019 WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical.
