Heathers
Synopsis
Book, Music & Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy
Based on the 1988 film written by Daniel Waters
Based on the cult classic film of the same name, Heathers is the story of Veronica Sawyer, a senior at Westerberg High. Veronica longs to be cool like the clique of it 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.
When Veronica uses her skills as a forger to get the Heathers out of detention, she impresses their leader Heather Chandler, so much so that 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.
Meanwhile, Veronica finds herself attracted to a mysterious newcomer at school named Jason Dean (JD). When an innocent drink mixup results in the accidental poisoning of Heather Chandler, JD convinces Veronica to stage Heathers 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.
