JUNIOR AUDITION NOTICE: Heathers the Musical (Teen Edition) - BG Performing Arts


Title: Heathers: The Musical (Teen Edition)

Presented By: BG Performing Arts

Genre: Dark Comedy / Musical Theatre


Synopsis: Heathers: The Musical (Teen Edition) is a darkly funny, high-energy rock musical about teenage power, popularity, and the dangers of fitting in. Veronica Sawyer is a smart, misunderstood teen who finds herself pulled into the world of the beautiful but cruel Heathers—the most popular girls at Westerberg High. When she falls for the mysterious new kid J.D., her life spirals into chaos and revenge. This teen-adapted version captures the bold spirit of the cult classic while addressing themes of bullying, self-worth, and peer pressure with sensitivity and humour.
