Heathers The Musical: Teen Edition is a hilarious, heartfelt and homicidal new show based on the greatest teen comedy of all time. This the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously handsome new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized butt... but J.D. has another plan for that bullet.

 

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

  • Veronica Sawyer – 17. She burns to be both cool and kind, but doesn’t know yet how to be both at the same time. Fierce sense of right and wrong, keen sense of ironic humor. Thinks she's an old soul, but she's still innocent enough to be blindsided by love/hormones (or shocked by cruelty).

  • JD – 17. He is darkly charismatic, compelling, attractive, charming on the outside yet very damaged on the inside. Keen smarts and strong inventive comedy.

  • Heather Chandler – 17. Richest, hottest, most magnetic, cruelest girl in town. Relishes power and wields it like a scalpel – no fear, no patience, no mercy.

  • Heather McNamara – 17. Beautiful, innocent, stupid, can be mean on command if Heather Chandler orders it, but actually quite vulnerable and fearful.

  • Heather Duke – 17. Whipping-girl of the 3 Heathers. When she finally becomes Queen Bee she wields power like a bulldozer.

  • Martha Dunnstock – 17. Nicknamed “Martha Dumptruck”, the opposite of hot, confident, or popular. Huge and beautiful soul, optimistic even in the face of rejection.

  • Ram Sweeney – 17, Linebacker. Big, insensitive to the feelings of others, ruled by appetites.

  • Kurt Kelly – 17. Quarterback and Captain. Big, chiseled, rude, entitled, cocky. Mean, thinks he’s the brains in the friendship with Ram.

  • Ram's Dad – Former football player turned suburban Dad, has never outgrown his glory days in high school. Hates weakness, but capable of soul-searching when tragedy strikes.

  • Big Bud Dean – JD’s single Dad. Big jolly personality that barely conceals the enormous rage bubbling just below the surface. Quite possibly a serial bomber.

  • Coach Ripper  Stalwart, man’s man; quick to defend his players.

  • Ms. Fleming – Aging hippie teacher, still yearning for the day the Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Hungry for the spotlight, resentful of entitled youth.

  • Veronica's Mom – Easygoing, distant, yet capable of laying down the law.

  • Kurt's Dad – Straight-laced, very conservative, also former football player. A simple guy, not book smart, you’d be happy to share a beer with him.

  • Veronica's Dad – Easygoing and distant.

  • Principal Gowan – Rumpled, burned out, hates conflict. 

  • Beleaguered Geek – A put-upon, bitter geek.

  • Preppy Stud – A blowdried 80’s preppy.

  • Hipster Dork  Thinks he’s Ducky from ‘Pretty In Pink.’.

  • New Wave Girl – A sullen New Wave girl.

  • Stoner Chick – A fuzzyheaded stoner chick.

  • Young Republicanette – A tennis-playing, uptight Student Council type.

  • Officer McCord and Officer Milner

  • Ensemble – Westerberg Students (Spooky Kids, Jocks, Cheerleaders, Teen Party Guests, Dead Westerberg Teens), Westerberg Faculty, Congregation
