Disclaimer- This review will contain profanity sexual
overtones and MURDER. Which makes perfect sense because it is about the Musical
adaptation of Heather. You have been warned.
The new musical
stage adaptation of Daniel Water’s ICONIC dark comedy has hit the stage and we
got to go see it! If you haven’t seen
Heathers—the original movie that was put out in 1989 and put Winona Ryder and
Christian Slater on the map—it so happens to be streaming right now on
Netflix. It is a great movie, one of my
favorites, and has a huge cult following so when I heard they had made a
musical out of it I was so there!
The play is
written by Oliver Award winner and Tony Award nominee Laurence O’Keeffe who was
the one behind putting Legally Blonde on the stage—but I guess we can forgive
him and Emmy Award winner Kevin Murphy who did Reefer Madness and Desperate
Housewives among other things. The thing
you have to remember is that it is NOT the movie that you watched until you
knew every line by heart. That’s not a
bad thing, it’s just different, and sometimes we mistake different to be bad
instead of taking it for what it actually is.
What I can say is that you should expect to hear all your favorite one
liners that we true Heather fans know by heart and it was VERY.
