Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe’s musical adaptation pulls its punches compared to the original but it still has some bite, and a quiver of great songs Go to Full Review

... a great job of retaining the inherent darkness of their source material, while also playing up its 1980s colourful pop elements and rolling it all up in a selection of incredibly punchy, catchy songs driven by spicy and often thoughtful lyrics. Go to Full Review

Heathers the Musical delivers about as perfect a proshot as you could realistically expect. It does a great job capturing the energy of the performance, and the camerawork is artistic without being distracting. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
It definitely feels like a show from the early 2010s, but, for what it’s worth, it’s a very well-made and fun show from the early 2010s. Go to Full Review

This full release, which hews closer to a traditional film release model, is an exciting development for musical theatre proshots. Go to Full Review

Zachary K @ZacharyKing 9h Far better than the show, worse than the movie. Better than Wicked, worse than idk A Very Jonas Christmas, I guess that was a musical. They failed to truly capture the psychoticness of JD, and Veronica has a random lisp that pops up and vanishes at random, other than that it was fine I guess. 6/10 See more Jude 02/27/2024 Not big fun, listen to the original or an off broadway version See more X T 02/02/2024 The actors showed little to no emotions. The songs were okay ig, and they messed up a lot of iconic lines and how they a supposed to be said. Ide personal just watch an extremely blurry recording of the original cast on YouTube instead of this, or listen to the songs on Spotify because both of those are much better options then this rendition of the musical. I've been watching and listening to the OG cast since I discover the musical in 2016, this was a huge disappointment to me and just infuriating that the director allowed this. See more Josh H 01/16/2024 I love this movie! It is such an awesome movie! All the songs are so good! See more Shanea M 03/12/2023 Absolutley breathtaking, the cheoreography was on pointe, the singers were some of the best i've heard, the plot was amazing, and the plot twists keep you hanging on. I absolutley loved this movie! Although I feel it was amazing the musical takes longer than the original for reasons of more explaining and filling in, and it just takes awhile to get to each different scene, but I still loved it just as much as I loved the origianal.
