Heathers the Musical London reviews
What’s On Stage – 4/5
“It may not make you long to go back to school but it may make you want to dig out the movie, or even the cast album of this hugely enjoyable show. With this brilliant new company, Heathers is well worth another look.” – Read the full review
Gay Times- 4/5
“It’s camp, silly, basic, crude and borderline absurd – but above all that, it delivers a rollicking good time.” – Read the full review
The Telegraph- 2/5

The Stage – 3/5
“Christina Bennington is terrifically energetic as protagonist Veronica, skilfully navigating a clumsily written part that positions her as both the show’s sardonic narrator and its conflicted emotional heart.” – Read the full review
