Heathers: The Musical | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times 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 Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Heathers: The Musical | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Carmen Paddock Screen Queens This full release, which hews closer to a traditional film release model, is an exciting development for musical theatre proshots. Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Heathers: The Musical | Rotten Tomatoes (3) EJ Moreno Flickering Myth Director Andy Fickman said “I can’t stop smiling, and I hope audiences feel the same way!” Well, mission accomplished because this is non-stop sick smiles. Rated: 5/5 Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Heathers: The Musical | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jen Maravegias Pajiba If you’re a fan of Heathers, the seminal 1988 film, written and directed by first-timers Daniel Waters and Michael Lehmann, you will be disappointed. Or mad. Or both. Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Heathers: The Musical | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Marisa Carpico The Pop Break [The audience's] energy is infectious and while some viewers may not love every second of Heathers: The Musical, it’s impossible not to be swept up in its energy just like the audience in the theater.

Jude Not big fun, listen to the original or an off broadway version Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review X T 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. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Josh H I love this movie! It is such an awesome movie! All the songs are so good! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Natasza Z one of the best musicals that i have seen in a while. the songs are amazing, the story,the characters and just so much more. i can not expres how much i love this. i cant stop listening to the songs like freeze your brain,our love is god, dead girl walking, meant to be yours and candy store. they are just so good. i really recomend this musical if you likre drama and just a fun time and also amazing songs Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Charlotte M Having seen this musical live, it is absolutely fantastic. It makes everyone feel so represented, and everyone I know agrees with me Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review Ava L First time I ever say this was a few days ago. Very controversial but this cast is my favourite. The way the actors act wows me. I loved it so much. All songs have been stuck in my head since I watched. This musical is definitely 'big fun' and a delight to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
