Well, don't we feel like a kid in a candy store? Heathers the Musical is heading back to the West End this summer for a strictly limited six-week run – how very!

The smash-hit show will open from May to July at @sohoplace Theatre ahead of its summer UK tour.

The musical previously ran back in 2018 at London's The Other Palace before transferring to the Royal Theatre Haymarket for a completely sell-out season. Now, it's heading back to the capital - and tickets are bound to go fast.

For those unfamiliar, Heathers is based on the book and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe, and the 1989 film starring Winona Ryder.

It dives deep into the perils of high school (literally), spinning a crazy story of deception, popularity and murder...

Intrigued? We thought so. Here's everything you need to know about the show's West End run.

What is the Heathers musical about?

There's no better way of summing up the Heathers musical than with this official synopsis: "It might kill to be a nobody, but it is murder being somebody."

At Westerberg High, Veronica Sawyer is used to staying on the sidelines, until one day she gets invited to join the posse of three beautiful and impossibly cruel girls, all named Heather.

As all Veronica's wildest dreams of popularity and fame start to come true, she realises that there's more than a few consequences to being known.

Where can I watch the Heathers musical?

The Heathers Musical is setting up at the @sohoplace Theatre on Charing Cross Road.

Never heard of it? That's understandable - @sohoplace only popped up last year, and is the first purpose-built West End theatre to be opened in 50 years.

At just 602 seats, the venue is specially designed to have a more intimate feel, with every seat being no more than six rows from the stage. It also promises perfect sightlines from every row with no obscured views; in theatre terms, this kind of curved auditorium is known as 'the hug'.
