Heathers The Musical played through October 11, 2026 at New World Stages, Stage I (340 West 50th Street). Heathers is directed by Andy Fickman, who staged the record-breaking UK production.
Welcome to Westerberg High, where popularity is a matter of life and death, and Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody dreaming of a better day. But when she's unexpectedly taken under the wings of The Heathers – three beautiful and impossibly cruel classmates all named Heather – her dreams of popularity finally start to come true. That is until J.D., the mysterious teen rebel, turns up and teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it’s murder being a somebody.
Heathers began performances on June 22, 2025 at New World Stages, where it opened to the largest advance in the venue’s 21-year history, and has broken the house record four times. In addition to the New York production, Heathers is also playing on tour in the UK, and will launch its first US national tour in 2027.
Since its premiere, Heathers The Musical has gained a large, devoted fan base. These fans have significantly contributed to the show’s international success, resulting in over 1,400 productions worldwide.
