Heathers The Musical announced today that it will play its final performance on Sunday, October 11 at New World Stages, prior to embarking on an extensive North American tour, launching in Baltimore in May 2027.
Heathers began performances on June 22, 2025 at New World Stages, where it opened to the largest advance in the venue’s 21-year history and has broken the house record four times.
Based on the 1989 cult film that starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, Heathers originally opened in Los Angeles for a sold-out run in 2013 and transferred to Off-Broadway’s New World Stages in 2014. Heathers has had three smash hit West End productions and three tours, which have broken box office records throughout the UK and Ireland. Heathers won the 2019 WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical and in 2022 was filmed for streaming on The Roku Channel.
Since its premiere, Heathers has gained a large, devoted fan base. These fans have significantly contributed to the show’s international success, resulting in over 1,400 productions worldwide.
