Heathers The Musical returns to the West End

Following four smash-hit London seasons and a WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical, Heathers The Musical returns to the West End at The Arts at Marble Arch from 9 July to 22 August 2026.

Based on the iconic 1980s cult film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, this darkly funny musical follows high school outsider Veronica Sawyer as she becomes entangled with the dangerously charismatic JD and the ruthless Heathers.

Packed with razor-sharp comedy, killer songs and a surprisingly heartfelt story, Heathers has become one of the most beloved modern musicals, earning a devoted fan following around the world.

Liberty Stottor (Six the Musical) leads the trio of Heathers as the incomparable Heather Chandler, with Jessica Ibadin, making her professional debut as Heather Duke and Lou Henry (Six the Musical) as Heather McNamara. Casting for Veronica Sawyer was revealed at West End LIVE 2026 as Gerardine Sacdalan (&Juliet). Louis Hearsey (I Was a Teenage She-Devil) will play Jason ‘J.D.’ Dean.

Featuring music, lyrics and book by the award-winning creative team of Kevin Murphy, Laurence O’Keefe and Andy Fickman, this explosive production combines teen angst, pitch-black humour and unforgettable musical numbers.

Book Heathers The Musical tickets now for its highly anticipated West End return at The Arts at Marble Arch.

What is Heathers The Musical about?

At Westerberg High, popularity is everything — and nobody rules the school quite like the Heathers.

When outsider Veronica Sawyer unexpectedly joins their elite clique, her life suddenly changes forever. But things take a dangerous turn when she begins a relationship with mysterious new student JD, whose ideas about revenge quickly spiral out of control.

Based on the cult classic film, Heathers The Musical blends dark comedy with romance, satire and explosive songs in a story about fitting in, standing out and surviving high school.
