High School Never Looked So Wicked: Heathers – The Musical Hits the Big Screen

Heathers – The Musical
Welcome to the Dark Side of Popularity

On 6 September 2025, a storm of sass, satire, and killer vocals hits cinema screens with Heathers: The Musical. Filmed live at London’s The Other Palace during its wildly successful West End run, this musical theatre gem is coming to audiences in a one-night-only cinema event. Fans of sharp wit and even sharper fashion won't want to miss it.

From Cult Classic to Cult Musical

Based on the 1989 cult film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, Heathers: The Musical has taken the world by storm, earning the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical. The story stays true to its dark comedy roots, blending razor-sharp humour with a punchy rock score that turns high school drama into a full-blown theatrical spectacle.

Veronica, JD, and the Heathers

The plot follows Veronica Sawyer, a smart and sardonic teen trying to survive Westerberg High. When she falls in with the powerful trio known as the Heathers, her social life takes a dramatic turn. But things spiral quickly with the arrival of JD, the enigmatic outsider with a dangerous philosophy on popularity and justice. The result? A hilarious, haunting, and high-energy ride that pulls no punches.

Live From London, Loud in Sydney

This filmed version captures the live-wire energy of a West End performance, complete with the dynamic staging and raw talent that made its London run legendary. With a run time of 150 minutes including a 15-minute interval, this is a full theatrical experience brought to the big screen.

For Mature Teens and Theatre Lovers

Rated MA15+, this show is best suited for audiences aged 15 and over. With biting dialogue and unflinching themes, it's the perfect pick for fans of edgy musicals that don’t hold back. Whether you're a longtime fan or brand new to the story, this is your chance to experience one of modern musical theatre’s boldest productions.

Book Your Seat at Westerberg High

Heathers: The Musical will be presented in cinemas by the Sydney Opera House. Expect comfortable seating, an atmospheric setting, and two and a half hours of unforgettable entertainment.
