Heathers the Musical is bigger and better than ever before! A brand new song has been written into the show ahead of it's West End debut at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, along with multiple re-workings to the script.
Following extensive work across the run of its European premiere at The Other Palace, the creators of Heathers - The Musical, Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy, alongside director Andy Fickman, have written an original new song for leading lady Carrie Hope Fletcher. The new song, 'I Say No' and updated script were added into the final week of performances at The Other Palace, offering audiences a sneak peek ahead of the show's transfer to the West End in September.
Paul Taylor Mills said: "Two years ago Andrew Lloyd Webber and I set on a mission to create a space in the UK where musicals could be tried and tested with audience feedback at the heart of that development. I am so pleased to say that a year and a half later we have been able to see Heathers go from The Other Palace studio, to the main house, to the West End. This isn't a new idea with many major American musicals affording themselves an out-of-town try out in order to refine the material before the version the team want to present is 'cooked'!
