Heathers is back, and demand is fierce. The high-octane, pitch-black rock musical inspired by the cult 1988 movie arrives in London to launch The Arts at Marble Arch, playing a strictly limited run of just 52 performances from 9 July 2026.
At Westerberg High, where climbing the social ladder can feel like a life-or-death sport, seventeen-year-old Veronica Sawyer is just another overlooked face longing for something better. Everything changes when the school’s untouchable trio - three dazzling queen bees who all happen to share the name Heather - suddenly adopt her as one of their own. Then the brooding, unpredictable new boy JD walks in, and Veronica’s glittering new life tips headlong into chaos.
Named Best New Musical at the WhatsOnStage Awards, Heathers the Musical has a book, music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy, drawn from the screenplay by Daniel Waters, and is staged by director Andy Fickman with choreography by Gary Lloyd. For 52 performances only, do not miss this gleefully wicked hit. Book your tickets now.
