Following the recent announcement that she'll appear in the European premiere of Heathers the Musical – which is based on the 1988 film – we put Carrie Hope Fletcher and The Other Palace boss Paul Taylor-Mills to the test on all things '80s musical films. 

Laurence O'Keefe (Legally Blonde) and Kevin Murphy's (Reefer Madness) musical about a teenage misfit had a work-in-progress performance in the studio at the same venue in 2017, and now moves into the main space for an eight-week run from 9 June to 4 August.

The new production has direction from Andy Flickman, choreography by Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Dan Samson and casting by Will Burton.

Fletcher, who won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Actress earlier this year, will play Veronica in the musical (played by Winona Ryder in the film), who gets taken under the wings of three beautiful people called the Heathers who aid her dreams of popularity in a bloodthirsty way.
