Heathers the Musical will be hitting the road again when it returns to the UK from Summer 2026
Based on the iconic 1989 cult film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, Heathers first premiered in Los Angeles in 2013 to sold-out audiences before transferring to New York’s New World Stages in 2014.
The show was reimagined for its 2018 London debut, featuring new songs and updated script elements that are now being showcased in the current New York production.
With three smash-hit West End runs and three record-breaking UK and Ireland tours under its belt, Heathers has become a fan-favourite musical.
UK fans—affectionately known as Corn-Nuts—can look forward to the musical’s return from Summer 2026, with full tour dates to be announced soon.
Meanwhile, the show will also make its way to Australia and New Zealand starting April 2026, with stops in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Perth, Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
The current New York production at New World Stages opened in June 2025 to the largest advance in the venue’s history. Originally slated to run until 28 September 2025, the show has been extended through 25 January 2026 due to overwhelming demand.
