Central Coast Music Factory will present its second musical of the year and first foray into adult productions from June 29 when the Wyong group tackles the twisted world of Heathers: The Musical where teenage angst meets dark comedy in a sensational stage adaptation of the cult classic film.
Follow Veronica Sawyer as she navigates the treacherous halls of Westerberg High, encountering the infamous Heathers – a trio of mean girls with a penchant for power plays.
When Veronica meets mysterious new student JD, their rebellious alliance takes a dark turn, leading to a rollercoaster of schemes, scandals, and unexpected consequences.
Featuring electrifying musical numbers and razor-sharp dialogue, Heathers: The Musical is a must-see theatrical event that runs over two weeks with performances from June 29 to July 7 at the Playground Theatre, Central Coast Music Factory’s bespoke theatre space in Wyong.
CCMF principal Jayne Johnston said the musical offered a contemporary take on the challenges of adolescence while maintaining the irreverent and darkly comedic spirit of its source material.
“It has resonated with audiences for its sharp social commentary and memorable characters, making it a compelling theatrical experience that continues to captivate audiences worldwide,” Johnston said.
Musically, Heathers: The Musical features a diverse score that ranges from pop-rock anthems to heartfelt ballads.
Songs like Beautiful, Candy Store, Dead Girl Walking and Seventeen have become fan favourites for their catchy tunes and witty lyrics that both entertain and provoke thought.
“The youthful production team is stacked with familiar Central Coast faces and their hard work and dedication immerses viewers in the world of Westerberg High School,” Johnston said.
“The fresh and original direction from Lucas Carter and Tallulah Eden combines with innovative choreography by Evelyn Luck and Harriet Woodrow to inject the production with its own distinctive flair, whilst the musical direction of Kani Lukuta showcases the vocal aptitude of the cast.
“The ensemble cast consists of incredible local talents who skilfully portray a wide range of high school personalities, bringing to life a variety of archetypes including jocks, cheerleaders, misfits, and outsiders.”
