HEATHERS THE MUSICAL, HIGH SCHOOL EDITION Plays its Final Two Weeks

There are two weekends left to see Heathers the Musical (High School Edition), running at The Grove Theatre on weekends through October 22nd . Heathers The Musical (High School Edition)*, based on the cult classic film of the same name, is the story of Veronica Sawyer, a senior at Westerberg High. Veronica longs to be cool like the clique of girls that runs Westerberg: the unaffected, unattainable Heathers. Unfortunately, in addition to awesome levels of popularity, the Heathers are also cruel, choosing to mock and bully their kingdom into submission. Veronica uses her skills as a forger to get the Heathers out of detention, and impresses their leader Heather Chandler - and they agree to let her into their exclusive club. At first Veronica is thrilled-until she finds out that being one of the Heathers means bullying the same kids she used to call friends.

Veronica also finds herself attracted to JD, a mysterious newcomer at school. An innocent drink mix-up results in the accidental poisoning of Heather Chandler, and JD convinces Veronica to stage Heather's suicide. The results are so successful that Veronica and JD, exhilarated with their newfound power, resolve to rid Westerberg of the cruelly popular elite forever.

This hilarious, heartfelt and homicidal musical is an unflinching look at the joys and anguish of high school.
