Progressing? I assume you mean coming to Broadway? It's not. I'm not sure what else you are asking about.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
All sorts of "younger" people in my community want to do the show - but that's because they haven't read the actual script. And I keep thinking - if Heathers couldn't make a financial go of it off-broadway - how is it going to play in a smaller midwestern city - albeit a college town. And so, I end up wishing other groups good luck.
College theatre kids ADORE this show to an almost obnoxious degree so I can imagine it having a very strong life away from NY. They love it almost as much as the Lippa WILD PARTY. Almost.
I don't see why people want it on Broadway it's an Off-Broadway show.
At my high school alone there were 15 sets of 3 girls who dressed up as the three heathers. I could not take it. I wanted to hit my self with a wicket
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I had forgotten just how UGLY that set was.

Sorry, but we were PROMISED that this show would move its glorious set to the broadway stage. PROMISED.
Ugh, that set. I spent the entire time going "This score is fun, the book is solid enough, but dang this is the worst/weirdest/cheapest set I've ever seen." I honestly still think the show, which I mostly enjoyed, could be miles better with a stronger director.

Kokandy Productions has the Chicago premiere now. It opened to pretty favorable reviews. A lot reviews described it as a "coup" for the non-eq company to get the rights. I'm seeing it on Sat (a lot of people I know are involved), and us younger theater professionals were pretty excited about it.
Enjoy! I think the score is inventive, catchy, and serves the material well. And from what I saw of the Chicago set in a photo, it is way better than what we had here in NYC, which was just awful.
