Okay, so, I'll admit I'm a big fan of Heathers. I first saw the show back in 2014 during its Off-Broadway run. Now, over two years later, I'm still saying it should be on Broadway. And here's why!
1. The music is really amazing
I find myself listening to the soundtrack and just singing along at the top of my lungs. And I literally have no shame with this. I don’t care who hears me. Just leave me in peace!
2. The show is actual perfection
I became obsessed about a month after I saw the show live. Now, all I have is the cast recording and live footage. And the high hope it will soon come to Broadway.
3. A lot of fans want it to come to Broadway
Like, c’mon already. Everyone misses this show. And they need it back in The Big Apple. And I’m sure a lot of us would actually die (not literally) if the Original Off-Broadway Cast became the Original Broadway Cast. Though, I don’t think that’ll happen. But, hey, no matter who the cast is, I’ll be way too excited.
4. It did really well in Australia
An American movie turned
musical was popular. In Australia. And I feel like this show would also do really well in other countries. The story captures you, and you just feel like you’re right in it.
5. Lets not forget about the U.S. Productions
There have been plenty of productions done in the US since closing in 2014. If that isn’t reason
enough for the show to come to Broadway.
Come on. They literally made a high school version. And was played in local theatres. Come. To. Broadway. Like, now. Thanks.
7. In my honest opinion, it'll be a hit on Broadway
This just be me being the Heathers fan that I am, but I genuinely do feel like the show being on Broadway, they will have a long run. More merch will be made and sold. More people wearing something about the show. The more people that will notice and possibly come and see the show.
8.
A long run equals more people to get the chance
of getting a part they’ve been dreaming of
There has to be so many people that would love to be in a production, let alone being on Broadway. Let’s give these people their dreams! Which also means, more opportunities to see the show over and over again. For the new cast.
9. A lot of people will come see the show
If I’d had the money, I’d be there like, every other weekend. But, all in all, a lot of people will come to travel to see the show. Instead of not having the time for a local performance. With the show being on Broadway, it’s going to give more people the chance to take off of work, or even travel to see the sho
10. New fans
Literally. People will tell people who will tell people that will tell people. Got a friend? Great! Boyfriend/girlfriend? Even better! Bring them to the show. Bring
family members. Tell your co-workers. Your classmates. Only if we get a Broadway run!
11. More recognition
Which means more of a following. Which means, it will get more popular elsewhere. Which means new casts. Which means more schools and theatre productions will do the show.
12. Meeting new friends
Literally. Meeting new people with some of the same interests as you is a pretty amazing. You can bond over one thing, and then end up where the hell this person was all your life.
The show is very relatable in many, many aspects. One of them we all had those ‘mean girls’ in high school. And we just wanted to fit in. Or knew very well what it’s like to be bullied. Which is never OK.
14. Not everyone is who they say they are
And that is a very important lesson, in my opinion. The show captures that not even the new faces can be truly honest about themselves. Sure, there are people out there who are what they say they are. But there are people who aren’t. People have layers. Just like ogres and onions. And sometimes, when you peel away the layers, their true personality shines through. And sometimes that person can become very
toxic.
15. More job openings, maybe?
Like, who knows. With a new Broadway show, they can recruit more people who just graduated out of college. Creating jobs for them. And if the show goes to different schools and theatre companies, jobs for more people. Also, people always quit, retire, or get fired. So, openings for people who are looking!
16. The atmosphere of the show is amazing
When I saw the show, I was in love the whole time. It was funny. You couldn’t help but have a good time during the whole show.
All in all, Heathers is just amazing show. And it should come to Broadway now.
Like, c’mon already. Everyone misses this show. And they need it back in The Big Apple. And I’m sure a lot of us would actually die (not literally) if the Original Off-Broadway Cast became the Original Broadway Cast. Though, I don’t think that’ll happen. But, hey, no matter who the cast is, I’ll be way too excited.
