McKenzie Kurtz, Olivia Hardy, and Elizabeth Teeter Join HEATHERS Off-Broadway
The scrunchies have been claimed for this summer’s off-broadway Heathers the Musical. Broadway stars McKenzie Kurtz, Olivia Hardy, and Elizabeth Teeter will take the stage as Heathers Chandler, Duke, and MacNamara, respectively.
“I couldn't be more thrilled about the powerhouse trio stepping into those iconic red, green, and yellow costumes,” director Andy Fickman said. “McKenzie Kurtz brings a ferocious authority to Heather Chandler that demands the spotlight. Olivia Hardy gloriously captures Heather Duke’s volcanic anger. And Elizabeth Teeter brings a heartbreaking vulnerability to Heather MacNamara that will surprise and move audiences. These Heathers are bold, brilliant, and absolutely deadly, in the best way possible.”
Heathers features book, music, and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe and is based on the 1988 film of the same name. The show’s return to off-broadway will be directed by Fickman, who staged the record-breaking UK production in 2018. It will start performances on June 22, 2025 and will play a limited engagement through September 28, 2025 at New World Stages, Stage I (340 West 50th Street).
Welcome to Westerberg High, where popularity is a matter of life and death, and Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody dreaming of a better day. But when she's unexpectedly taken under the wings of The Heathers – three beautiful and impossibly cruel classmates all named Heather – her dreams of popularity finally start to come true. That is until J.D. turns up, the mysterious teen rebel who teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it is murder being a somebody…
Additionally, Tony Award nominee Lorna Courtney will star as Veronica Sawyer, and Casey Likes will star as J.D. Additional casting will be announced next week.
