About Heathers The Musical

At Westerberg High, popularity is a matter of life or death. Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody dreaming of popularity until she’s unexpectedly taken under the wings of the three beautiful but impossibly cruel Heathers.

Then mysterious teen rebel J.D. shows her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it’s murder being a somebody…

The dark and wickedly funny story has been adapted for the stage with book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Tony Award nominee Laurence O’Keefe.

Since premiering in LA in 2013 and a stint Off-Broadway in 2014, the musical production has had three successful runs in the West End and three record-breaking tours across the UK and Ireland. The show returned to New York last year and is currently touring New Zealand and Australia. 

New home for The Arts

The Arts Theatre, most recently the home of The Choir of Man, is closed for major refurbishment works. The West End venue is estimated to reopen by the end of 2027, and until then performances will be held at the new semi-permanent Arts Theatre at Marble Arch. 

Designed by Reed Watts, the new venue will have 550 seats, a grandstand, a 17-metre-wide stage and state-of-the-art facilities. 

Tickets are on sale now for both the London run and all announced tour dates. 

Groups looking to book tickets for the London production should call 0207 836 8463 or email boxoffice@artstheatrewestend.co.uk.
