Ray of Light Theatre​
, San Francisco’s non­profit musical theatre company, today announced the Bay Area premiere of ​
Heathers: The Musical​
. Based off of the 1989 cult classic film, ​
Heathers​
rounds out Ray of Light’s 15th anniversary season and runs May 22 through June 13 at the historic Victoria Theatre. “Since we came across ​
Heathers: The Musical​
, we knew it had to come to San Francisco and that ROLT had to do it,” said Jason Hoover, artistic director of Ray of Light Theatre. “This show celebrates the weirdness of high school and the awesomeness of the ‘80s, and we can’t wait for audiences to fall in love with ​
Heathers​
as much as we have.” Coming off its stellar run off­Broadway at New World Stages, ​
Heathers: The Musical​
tells the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, the brainy and beautiful misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls for the dangerously sexy new kid, J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass. But not before J.D. makes other plans for that bullet.
