Grab your scrunchies and dust off your shoulder pads, Heathers The Musical is heading to Perth, and class is officially in session. If you like your nostalgia with a side of jet-black humour, this cult-fave stage adaptation is about to be your new obsession.
Based on the iconic 1989 film, Heathers follows brainy outsider Veronica Sawyer as she infiltrates Westerberg High’s most feared clique: the three impossibly chic (and terrifyingly powerful) Heathers. But when brooding new kid J.D. enters the picture, cafeteria politics spiral fast. Expect razor-sharp satire, killer one-liners and plenty of high school chaos.
THE DETAILS
When: September 2026
Where: Regal Theatre, 474 Hay St, Subiaco WA 6008
Get tickets here.
