Heathers The Musical

About Heathers The Musical

Heathers The Musical is a dark comedy musical at The Arts at Marble Arch in London, based on the cult 1988 film of the same name. The show follows Veronica Sawyer, a teenager navigating the brutal social hierarchy of Westerberg High, alongside the charismatic and dangerous JD. With a score by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy, the production features songs including "Candy Store", "Dead Girl Walking", and "Meant to Be Yours", blending sharp satire with a rock-driven soundtrack.

The musical has built a devoted following since its off-Broadway debut in 2014, transferring to the West End at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2018 before returning to London for this run at The Arts at Marble Arch. It has won multiple awards and is widely credited with reviving interest in the source material for a new generation of theatre audiences.

What to expect

Audiences follow Veronica and JD through a story that moves between high school hallways, house parties, and increasingly dark confrontations, all delivered with a high-energy cast and a live band. The production plays The Arts at Marble Arch, a new West End venue whose sweeping grandstand faces a wide stage, giving the show's high-energy staging room to land. Tickets are available across a range of seating tiers, with performances running throughout the week including matinees. Booking in advance is recommended, particularly for weekend and evening shows.

The Arts at Marble Arch and getting there

The Arts at Marble Arch is a new West End venue on the Marble Arch site, created to continue the programme of the West End's Arts Theatre during a major refurbishment of that building. The 594-seat auditorium pairs a sweeping grandstand with a wide stage and modern facilities, and Heathers The Musical is one of its first productions. The venue sits between Oxford Street and Park Lane, a short walk from Marble Arch station on the Central line, making it straightforward to reach from across the city. For other shows and events at the venue, the The Arts at Marble Arch schedule lists current and upcoming productions.
