Heathers: The Musical is a dark comedy set in a 1980s fictional Westerberg High, a school ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. Veronica Sawyer, the newest addition to the group, rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the mysterious rebel J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place: six feet under.

Design consisted of approximately 90+ different 80's inspired looks, including a pull-away costume for Heather Duke in "Never Shut Up Again" and live gunshot SFX for Kurt, Ram, and J.D.'s death scenes.
