Heathers the Musical will make a return to the West End this Spring, as part of its UK tour. The popular musical will open at @sohoplace in London for a limited six-week season on 22nd May.
Based on the 1989 movie starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater of the same name, the musical follows the fortunes of Veronica Sawyer, a High School “nobody” who aspires to become popular. When she joins the beautiful but cruel girl group of 'Heathers', her dreams of popularity finally begin to come true. But will Veronica manage to remain true to herself?
Heathers last showcased in the West End at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2018, and has been on two subsequent tours of the UK. The production returned to London at The Other Palace in 2023, becoming the longest-running show ever at the venue.
Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe's musical is directed by Andy Fickman, with choreography by Gary Lloyd, lighting by Ben Cracknell, design by David Shields, and sound by Dan Samson.
Casting for the West End production is yet to be announced.

Soho Place is a small purpose built new London theatre situated at the top of Charing Cross Road next to Tottenham Court Road tube station which has a capacity of 602 seats.
The theatre has three levels of seating- Stalls, First Balcony and Second Balcony – and has an adaptable layout to suit the production. These adaptations include in-the-round seating covering all four sides of the stage, and also thrust, with seating on three of the sides. Soho Place is a contemporary, intimate, and innovative venue which offers excellent sight lines of the stage throughout, and has been designed specifically to ensure both great view and acoustics no matter where you are seated. Premium seats are located in the front row of the First Balcony, which is a fantastic vantage point from an elevated position, and also the central rows in the Stalls sitting a comfortable distance from the stage which offers a perfect view of the action.
Value can be found in the seats in the Second Balcony which despite being the furthest away from the stage have no obstructions or restrictions to the view and offer clear views of the stage. Tickets in the front row of the Stalls can also be a little cheaper due to its close proximity to the stage.
