ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA — One of the greatest teen comedies of all time gets the
musical treatment with Winthrop University Theatre and Dance Department's production of "Heathers: The Musical." The show runs Friday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 5 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 6 at
2 p.m.
Based on the 1988 Winona Ryder movie, "Heathers: The Musical" is a satirical dark comedy that focuses on the all too real danger of cliques in high school, featuring the
popular kids as the villains that everyone loves to hate in pop-contemporary culture.
Theatre major Taylor Neal will play Veronica Sawyer, and the infamous "Heathers" will
be played by Beth Byouk, Luna Mackie and Carley Tomlinson. Theatre major Trey King
plays bad boy JD, Veronica's love interest.
Tickets are available online or at the door for $10 with a Winthrop ID or $15 for
the general public. Please note "Heathers: The Musical" features mature language and content. There is limited seating in the Johnson Studio Theatre. No late seating is permitted once the show begins.
