I’m always searching for exciting new show tunes and I instantly fell in love with Heathers The Musical the moment I heard their opening track. The show is based on the 80’s cult classic movie with the same title which stars Winona Ryder. HTM stars Barrett Wilbert Weed as Veronica Sawyer, a teenage misfit who earns a spot in the popular clique of “Heathers”. While Sawyer is at the top of her reign, she meets the dark and mysterious J.D. and soon finds out that he’s more dangerous than she expected. The play’s plot swiftly takes a dark turn and many deaths follow. I’m in awe of the depth and complexity of the songs and am a huge fan of “Seventeen”, “Beautiful”, “Meant to Be Yours” and “Our Love is God”. While the play had a short run off-Broadway, I’m hoping for its revival on on Broadway. For now I’ll just binge-listen to every song on the soundtrack.
