A new trailer for live stage adaptation of Heathers: The Musical promises to be a "Big Fun" trek through Hell and back. Heathers: The Musical premiered off-Broadway in 2014 and is based on the 1988 cult-classic film of the same name. The dark comedy follows Veronica Sawyer as she attempts to navigate her high school's cutthroat cliques, dominated by three girls all named Heather. Veronica's whole world is upended when she's accepted into the Heathers, and the mysterious, new kid J.D. calls out her hypocrisy.
