News - Heathers: The Musical

Kaleidoscope Entertainment has announced that the stage recording of the award-winning, West End hit Heathers: The Musical will be coming to cinemas nationwide for a one-night-only special event on 28th March...

Press Release

Based on the 1989 cult classic film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, the musical adaptation follows Westerberg High student Veronica Sawyer, whose dreams of popularity finally start to come true when she’s taken under the wings of the three beautiful, yet impossibly cruel Heathers. But when mysterious new kid, teen rebel J.D arrives in town, Veronica realises that whilst it might kill to be a nobody, it’s murder being a somebody…

Wickedly funny, with dazzling book, music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated, Legally Blonde composer, Laurence O’Keefe, and Emmy-winning Reefer Madness author Kevin Murphy, Heathers the Musical is directed by acclaimed screen and stage director Andy Fickman, with electrifying choreography by Gary Lloyd (Thriller Live, Carrie, 20th Century Boy).

The live recording was captured in its original London home, The Other Palace where the stage show made its U.K. debut in 2018. In addition to the live recording and West End shows, the production's UK tour will also be travelling across the country this year!

 
Fans of the musical are in for some Big Fun as the live recording, captured in its original London home, The Other Palace, features some of the incredible 2022 cast including musical star Ailsa Davidson as Veronica Sawyer, Simon Gordon as J.D., Maddison Firth as Heather Chandler, Vivian Panka as Heather Duke, Teleri Hughes as Heather McNamara.

The recording also stars Mhairi Angus as Martha Dunnstock and Vicki Lee Taylor as Ms. Fleming / Veronica’s mum. The cast is completed by Liam Doyle as Kurt Kelly, Rory Phelan as Ram Sweeney, Andy Brady, as well as Oliver Brooks, Jermaine Woods, Benjamin Karran, Chris Parkinson, Eleanor Morrison-Halliday, Mary-Jean Caldwell, Hannah Lowther and May Tether. How very.

Excited about the UK release Director Andy Fickman said “Directing Heathers The Musical has been a career high for me. So when we got a chance to film the Stage Capture at our beloved theatre in London where it all began - The Other Palace - that was an even bigger high - and thanks to our partners at Bill Kenwright Studios, Village Roadshow and now Kaleidoscope we get a chance to share that the magic at cinemas all across the UK - I can’t stop smiling and I hope audiences feel the same way!”

Bill Kenwright’s BKStudios produce, along with Village Roadshow Pictures (VRP), Fickman, Murphy and O’Keefe.
