Heathers The Musical initial 2026 tour dates announced

Heathers The Musical is heading back out on tour in 2026, playing dates across the UK.

Initial tour dates have now been announced, with the tour opening at the Theatre Royal Windsor on 26 August 2026, and then visiting Leeds, Nottingham, Darlington, Poole, Peterborough, and Blackpool with further tour dates to be announced. See tour dates and booking info.

The show is also hitting the road in Australia and New Zealand from April 2026, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Perth, Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.

A new US tour is also set for Spring 2027.

Heathers is based on the cult 1989 film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, and the musical first premiered in LA in 2013 before transferring to New York’s New World Stages in 2014.

This new production of Heathers was reimagined for its 2018 London debut at The Other Palace Theatre, featuring new songs and updated script. It has gone on to enjoy three West End runs, and a number of tours of the UK and Ireland.

The musical is also now playing in New York at New World Stages, and has recently been extended to 24 May 2026.

Heathers is written by Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives) and Laurence O’Keefe (Legally Blonde), and directed by Andy Fickman (Reefer Madness).

The wider creative team includes choreography by Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Dan Samson, musical supervision by Jeremy Wootton and Will Joy, and the show is produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor-Mills.

Director Andy Fickman said in a statement: “What a year it’s been for Heathers the Musical. We brought our award-winning production back to New World Stages in New York and today we announced that the production will be going to Australia and New Zealand next year. I’m even more excited that we’ll be bringing the show back home to the UK for audiences new and old to experience this twistedly heartfelt story again. So, get out your scrunchies and break out the Corn Nuts and join us at Westerberg High for Big Fun next year!”
