Heathers...The Musical?!

Posted: 2/22/08 at 6:55pm

So, I just heard about this. I'm having a hard time picturing it. A play, maybe, but a musical? Its not exactly cheery and peppy, not that a musical has to be, but I cant imagine one scene in the movie where the characters would burst into song.
Either way, I love Heathers and I'm excited

I know Larry O'Keefe is composing, but does anyone know any casting rumors or any other news?

Um, things need more than 8 minutes for people to answer them.

Um, I'm glad you sat silently doing nothing else with your life waiting for the right message to be a snob on :)

You, too, hmm?
I think I am just going to sit here and wait for you to have a typo.
Honestly, be more of a snob please.

OK, and I'm trying to imagine a song with lyrics like "F7$! me gently with a chainsaw."

Classic line that Heather #1 said to Veronica in the cafeteria. LOVE that movie!!!

Goodness, I can't even begin to imagine this. Could be good... on the other hand, could be very, very bad. The movie was bizarre.

They're still writing; no demos have even been done yet. So, no casting yet either.

But I can't wait...

Oh my goodness gracious, now this is one of my all time favorite movies, right up there with the original Hairspray. Oh that lucious Christian Slater aka Jason Dean. Just think they could also have a song titled "What did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?" To this day every now and then when someone pisses me off I say whatever Heather.

Haha I agree!
Christian Slater was my favorite part of that movie

Why not?

If they kept it set in the late eighties and satirized it a la DONNIE DARKO. Oh, and kept the original ending which had Veronica strapping dynamite to her body and blowing up the school only to join her classmates and JD, now on an all-equal level, in heaven.

That ending sounds kinda "Don't feed the plants" to me...
