The Beeyatches Are Back! Iconotheatrix' HEATHERS Returns

Iconotheatrix announces the return of last season's sold-out hit, Heathers The Musical (High School Edition). Heathers, which is nominated as Best Musical for the 2017 BroadwayWorld Awards, will be presented for a limited return engagement December 28-31, 2017 at Obsidian Theater.

In Heathers The Musical, based on the classic 1989 film, Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing trio: Heather (Courtlin Parisher), Heather (Jasmine Rogers), and Heather (Madison Friedhoff), the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer (Nicole Daniels) rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D. (Austin Colburn), who plans to put the Heathers in their place - six feet under.

Iconotheatrix' production of Heathers The Musical (High School Edition) features all age-appropriate casting! The show will be held at Obsidian Theater, located in the Houston Heights. Heathers will run for 5 performances only from December 28-31. Tickets range from $15 for students to $25 for adults.

Tickets can be purchased at http://www.iconotheatrix.org/current-production.

With music, book, and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy, based on the film by Daniel Waters, Heathers The Musical (High School Edition) is filled with the characters we have grown to love (and hate!). Iconotheatrix initially produced Heathers The Musical (High School Edition) in the summer of 2017 to a completely sold-out run and rave reviews.

Iconotheatrix, a youth theatre company, cast the teenage roles with young adults and the adult roles with guest artists, who are professional, working actors in the Houston area.

Southern Methodist University sophomore, Nicole Daniels, returns leading the cast as Veronica Sawyer. Co-starring with Daniels once again as her scheming boyfriend, JD, is Sam Houston State University sophomore, Austin Colburn. As the irresistibly evil Heathers, Iconotheatrix has cast Courtlin Parisher (Heather Chandler), Jasmine Rogers (Heather Duke), and Madison Friedhoff (Heather McNamara). The cast also includes Karson Davis as Kurt Kelly, Chazz Padilla as Ram Sweeney, and Charlie McCoy as Martha Dunnstock. Guest artists include Osiris Hart as Ms. Fleming/Veronica's Mom, Daniel Edwards as Ram's Dad/Coach Ripper/Big Bud Dean, and Jonathan Teverbaugh as Kurt's Dad/Veronica's Dad/Principal Gowan. Rounding out the cast of teenagers is Alleese Eldridge, Jasmine Escobedo, Janson Hanes, Abby Holmes, Owen Lee, Joya Polk, Andrew Ritch, and Odet Torres.

The creative team is comprised of familiar faces to Iconotheatrix, featuring direction by Logan Vaden, choreography by Eboni Bell, and music direction by Heather Buzonas.

Iconotheatrix, was established in December of 2014 with their inaugural cabaret, Iconotheatrix: A Prologue. This was quickly followed up by their highly-successful production of RENT. ITX produced its first full season in 2016-2017 featuring Carrie: The Musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and Heathers The Musical (High School Edition). Iconotheatrix was founded on the idea that hard work, discipline, creativity, and teamwork are important tools for every young actor to develop.

Iconotheatrix' mission statement says, "The mission of Iconotheatrix is to bridge the gap between educational and professional theatre. We provide an authentic artistic experience in a safe, inclusive environment for young adults. Through bold and innovative theatrical productions and community outreach, our students are a part of the positive progression of the growing Houston theatre economy. Our team is made up of young, fresh minds focused on bringing positive progression to the area of youth theatre."
