Following seasons at Hayes Theatre Co and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Heathers the Musical is currently on the next leg of its #WesterbergFieldTrip and headed to Arts Centre Melbourne for an approximately one and a half week season starting May 11th 2016. But for those who have been following the news about the upcoming Australian tour of We Will Rock You, you will already know that Jaz Flowers (Veronica Sawyer) and Erin Clare (Heather McNamara) have joined the show’s cast as Oz and Scaramouche respectively. This means that some cast changes are in order!
In a recent announcement by the team being Heathers the Musical, it has been confirmed that Hilary Cole will be taking over the role of Veronica Sawyer. In addition, they have announced that (the now) former ensemble performer Rebecca Hetherington will be taking on the role of Heather McNamara.
At the moment, Heathers the Musical has only been performed in Sydney, Brisbane and soon in Melbourne. An update to the show’s Facebook page earlier today has mentioned that the next stop on their #WesterbergFieldTrip might not be their last. It has not yet been confirmed where they might be performing next, but keep an eye out for another opportunity to watch what I thought was a fantastically clever musical.
