Casting has been announced for the upcoming London run and UK tour of Heathers the Musical, as the hit show prepares to return to the capital for a limited summer season.
Louis Hearsey will take on the role of Jason ‘J.D.’ Dean, with the all-important casting of Veronica Sawyer set to be revealed live at West End Live on Sunday 21 June.
Liberty Stottor will lead the iconic trio as Heather Chandler, joined by Jessica Ibadin as Heather Duke and Lou Henry as Heather McNamara.
The wider company includes Veronica Carabai as Ms Fleming and Veronica’s Mum, Sophie Manners as Martha Dunnstock, Markus Södergren as Kurt Kelly, and Beau Jackson as Ram Sweeney.
They are joined by Reuben Browne, Christian De-Gallerie, Ellouise Delooze, Caitlin Garcia, Alexander Howarth, Charlotte O’Rourke, Thomas Oxley, Tola Sokoya and Carys Taylor.
Following record-breaking runs in London, New York and Melbourne, Heathers the Musical will play 52 performances at the newly created Arts at Marble Arch from 9 July to 22 August 2026.
The production will mark the opening of the new 594-seat venue, which serves as the temporary home for the Arts Theatre during redevelopment works.
After its London season, the show will embark on an extensive UK and Ireland tour, opening at Theatre Royal Windsor on 26 August 2026.
The tour will visit cities including Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield, Dublin and Oxford throughout autumn 2026, before continuing into spring 2027 with stops in Liverpool, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and more.
Set at Westerberg High, Heathers the Musical follows Veronica Sawyer as she navigates the treacherous social hierarchy of high school after being taken in by the feared Heathers, only for a dangerous new outsider, J.D., to change everything.
Based on the 1989 cult film, the musical premiered in Los Angeles in 2013 before transferring to New York, and was later reworked for its London debut in 2018.
The production has since become a fan favourite, winning the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical and enjoying multiple West End runs and tours.
Directed by Andy Fickman, the creative team also includes choreographer Gary Lloyd, designer David Shields, lighting designer Ben Cracknell, sound designer Dan Samson, and musical supervisors Jeremy Wootton and Will Joy.
