West End show to hit North East cinema screens this month

The official stage recording of the popular, award-winning musical theatre show, Heathers: The Musical will be hitting cinema screens in the North East this month.

The musical theatre show is based on the 1989 cult movie of the same name starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, and performed on stage for the first time in 2010.

The plot of both the movie and the musical is described as “dark comedy”, surrounding a clique of girls in a high school setting and two outcasts, Veronica Sawyer and Jason ‘JD’ Dean.

Presented by Kaleidoscope Entertainment, the one night only screening of Heathers: The Musical will be shown across four different cinemas in the North East - Everyman Newcastle, Vue Gateshead, Odeon Metrocentre and The Customs House in South Shields.

Director of the UK production of Heathers: The Musical, Andy Fickman said: “Directing Heathers The Musical has been a career high for me. So when we got a chance to film the Stage Capture at our beloved theatre in London where it all began - The Other Palace - that was an even bigger high - and thanks to our partners at Bill Kenwright Studios, Village Roadshow and now Kaleidoscope we get a chance to share that the magic at cinemas all across the UK - I can’t stop smiling and I hope audiences feel the same way!”

The screenings across the cinemas will take place on Tuesday, March 28.  To book tickets please visit Heathers: The Musical website.

If you would rather see Heathers: The Musical in person, the UK touring production of the musical theatre show will be at the Sunderland Empire this Summer, from June 20 until June 24. To book tickets, please visit the Sunderland Empire website.
