How very! Heathers has extended its run at New World Stages for four additional months. The production has amassed the largest advance sale in New World Stages history. Originally scheduled to play through Sept. 28, Heathers will now run through Jan. 25, 2026.
“The love from our amazing fans is nothing short of very,” director Andy Fickman said in a statement. “This show has always been about defying expectations, and thanks to our incredible cast, crew, and die-hard supporters, we get to keep telling this twistedly heartfelt story. So get out your scrunchies and break out the Corn Nuts — Westerberg High isn’t going anywhere just yet!”
The Off-Broadway revival is currently in previews, with an official opening on July 10. Heathers features book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe, and is based on the 1989 film of the same name. It tells the story of Veronica Sawyer as she tries to navigate the most lethal place in the world: high school. While she dreams of a better day, she is taken under the wing of the Heathers — three cruel and beautiful classmates who are the most popular girls in school. Just as her dreams of popularity start to come true, she meets J.D., a mysterious teen rebel, who shows her it might kill to be a nobody.
Lorna Courtney and Casey Likes star in the production as Veronica Sawyer and J.D. The Heathers are portrayed by McKenzie Kurtz as Heather Chandler, Olivia Hardy as Heather Duke, and Elizabeth Teeter as Heather McNamara. Broadway veteran Kerry Butler plays Ms. Fleming/Veronica’s Mom, with viral TikTok sensation Erin Morton as Martha Dunnstock.
The cast also features Xavier McKinnon as Ram Sweeney, Cade Ostermeyer as Kurt Kelly, Ben Davis as Ram’s Dad/Big Bud Dean/Coach Ripper, and Cameron Loyal as Kurt’s Dad/Veronica’s Dad/Principal Gowan. Sara Al-Bazali is the standby for Veronica Sawyer and Heather Chandler. The ensemble includes Emma Benson, James Caleb Grice, Louis Griffin, Devin Lewis, Kiara Michelle Lee, Brian Martin, Lav Raman, Syd Sider, and Cecilia Trippiedi.
Heathers runs at New World Stages on West 50th Street in New York City through Jan. 25, 2026. For tickets and more information, visit here.
