Heathers: Teen

ABOUT

Heathers: The Musical (Teen Edition) is a toned-down adaptation of the original darkly comedic rock musical, making it accessible for high school productions while retaining the core themes and spirit of the story. This version follows Veronica Sawyer, an ordinary teenager who gets caught up in the social hierarchy of Westerburg High, ruled by the popular trio of mean girls known as the Heathers. In trying to fit in with this elite group, Veronica faces tough choices and confronts the harsh realities of peer pressure and the desire for acceptance. With revised language and a focus on the relatable struggles of high school life, the Teen Edition brings the story’s satire and humor to a younger audience.

The narrative takes a dark twist when Veronica meets the enigmatic new student, J.D., who lures her into taking extreme actions against the high school’s elite. Though this edition is adapted for younger performers and audiences, it still explores the impact of toxic friendships and the importance of empathy and individuality through songs like “Candy Store,” “Seventeen,” and “Fight for Me.” Heathers: The Musical (Teen Edition) balances the edge of the original with a lighter, accessible approach, presenting a tale that reminds teens of the importance of staying true to themselves amidst social pressures.
