FOLLOWING a smash hit in London’s West End, two record-breaking national tours and sell-out runs at London’s The Other Palace, the WhatsOnStage ‘Best New Musical’ winner is coming to Sheffield.

'Heathers the Musical' is based on the cult 1989 American teen film starring Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, and the late Shannen Doherty.

The black comedy is set in Westerberg High, where Veronica Sawyer is unexpectedly taken under the wings of three beautiful, popular but impossibly cruel girls.

Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy’s musical adaptation has enjoyed successful runs in Los Angeles and New York, with its European premiere became the highest grossing show at The Other Palace, having sold more than 20,000 tickets across the run and selling out prior to its opening gala performance.
