BARCLAY Performing Arts & the Boca Black Box bring you HEATHERS THE MUSICAL- the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass… but J.D. has another plan for that bullet.
With a cast composed of the talented students of BARCLAY Performing Arts and the Jodie Langel Voice & Acting studio, this show about the dark side of what it means to be in High School is told by those who understand it best, highschoolers! The age- appropriate cast comprised of 14-25 year olds gives new urgency and awareness to the sensitive matters that are embedded into this vibrant, rock-pop score.
Guest Performing with the cast of HEATHERS is world-wide comedy sensation SARGE! Sarge, a local favorite and international headliner, performer, and public speaker is happy to be guest starring as one of the Fathers, helping raise awareness for his non-profit organization- Sarges Kidz- and to stand alongside the cast as they use HEATHERS as a vehicle to promote the important ideals embracing who you are, practicing tolerance in diversity, and standing up against bullying and social pressures.
