High school is hell.
But at Westerberg High, it’s ruled by three girls who make “mean” look like child’s play—the Heathers.
Heathers the musical is the savage, satirical musical that questions how far would you go
to survive high school, and it is coming to Whangarei Theatre Company.
Based on the cult-classic 1989 film, this high-energy rock musical dives into the twisted world of high school cliques, dark humor, and what happens when popularity goes way too far. With iconic characters, bold storytelling, and songs you’ll be singing long after rehearsal.
Heathers is edgy, hilarious, and full of heart.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: (Please read all information carefully before you book your audition)
Think Heathers is only for a certain “type”? Think again. This show smashes stereotypes — and we want you to bring your own style, story, and energy to the stage! We’re casting performers of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and genders. The only requirement - you must be 16 years or older on the date of your audition.
Come as you are. Sing loud, act bold, and show us what makes you totally Westerburg-worthy.
