Fri 9/3-9/4 @ 8PM
The 1989 film Heathers has become a classic, emblematic of over-the-top 80s culture and a sharp rebuke to cloying, feel-good teen films of the 80s such as The Breakfast Club with its judgmental title clique of “popular” girls, bullying, sexual assault and murders.
In 2010 it was made into a rock musical for the stage by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy, which played briefly off-Broadway in 2014. Now Akron’s Millennial Theatre Project is mounting Heathers: The Musical, which concludes its run at the Akron Civic Theatre’s new Knight stage this weekend.
Tickets are $20; go to akroncivic.com/page/allshows.
