Teen Comedy Heathers 101 (High School Edition) the Musical - Meant to Be Yours Lyrics JD: All is forgiven baby! Come on, get dressed. You're my date to the pep rally tonight!
“What’s your damage, Heather?” On Friday July 28th, The Crossed Path Players, a completely-student run theatre group comprised of performers coming from all over Nassau County, will come together for a one-night-only performance of “Heathers The Musical (High School Edition)”, a musical based on the 1988 film of the same name staring Winonna Ryder and Christian Slater. In addition, the players will be collecting donations on the evening of the performance that will go directly to the Long Island chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Heathers (High School Edition), taking place at Westerburg High School in 1989, follows the story of teenage outcast, Veronica Sawyer, who gets taken in by the most popular clique in school - the Heathers. By forging them a hall pass, Veronica gets a makeover that exudes total “hell on wheels”, and is finally looked just as highly upon in the halls of Westerburg as the Heathers are. While with the clique, Veronica meets troubled dark horse JD, who, with Veronica’s help, plans to make their high school a better place by eliminating anything, or anyone, that gets in his way. This classic dark comedy deals directly with relevant themes in today's high school society - such as bullying, power, and suicide. Through all of the chaos that Heathers brings with it, an overall message prevails that life can be beautiful, no matter the circumstance. That message works hand-in-hand with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - a non-profit organization dedicated to awareness and offering help towards those affected by suicide.
Heathers (High School Edition) will be directed and produced by Doug Gallo, musically directed by Alaina Anderson, choreographed by Nicolette O'Keefe, and stage managed by Jacqui Berkowitz and Natalie Palmer.

VERONICA SAWYER - 17. She burns to be both cool and kind, but doesn’t know yet how to be both at the same time. Fierce sense of right and wrong, keen sense of ironic humor. Thinks she's an old soul, but she's still innocent enough to be blindsided by love/hormones (or shocked by cruelty). Voice: High belting required, up to Ab. Must have dynamic and stylistic range.JD - 17. He is darkly charismatic, compelling, attractive, charming on the outside yet very damaged on the inside. Keen smarts and strong inventive comedy. Voice: Strong, confident belt to at least an Ab, A preferable; wide emotional range.HEATHER CHANDLER - 17. Richest, hottest, most magnetic, cruelest girl in town. Relishes power and wields it like a scalpel – no fear, no patience, no mercy. Voice: Strong belt to F or higher preferred. Mezzo for chorus. NOTE: In certain choral songs Chandler can switch parts with her other Heathers as needed. HEATHER MCNAMARA - 17. Beautiful, innocent, stupid, can be mean on command if Heather Chandler orders it, but actually quite vulnerable and fearful. Voice: Strong belt to Db, D preferred. Soprano for chorus. NOTE: in certain choral songs Heather Mac and Duke can switch vocal parts as needed.HEATHER DUKE - 17. Whipping-girl of the 3 Heathers. When she finally becomes Queen Bee she wields power like a bulldozer. Alto for chorus. Voice: Strong belt to C, D preferred. Alto for chorus. NOTE: in certain choral songs Heather Duke and Mac can switch vocal parts as needed.MARTHA DUNNSTOCK - 17. Nicknamed “Martha Dumptruck”, the opposite of hot, confident, or popular.

Big, insensitive to the feelings of others, ruled by appetites. Voice: Strong Baritone, belt to G, some Falsetto useful.KURT KELLY - 17. Quarterback and Captain. Big, chiseled, rude, entitled, cocky. Mean, thinks he’s the brains in the friendship with Ram. Voice: Tenor, strong belt to Ab or A, some Falsetto. NOTE: in certain songs Ram and Kurt can switch choral assignment if, say, Ram sings higher than Kurt.RAM’S DAD / BIG BUD DEAN / COACH RIPPER - 40 to 45. Ram’s Dad: Former football player turned suburban Dad, has never outgrown his glory days in high school. Hates weakness, but capable of soul-searching when tragedy strikes.

Also plays Coach Ripper: Stalwart, man’s man; quick to defend his players. Voice: Baritone/Tenor – power Country/Gospel belt to Ab, higher welcome. NOTE: Sometimes this actor has played Principal Gowan instead of Big Bud/Coach.MS. FLEMING / VERONICA’S MOM - 45 to 50. Ms. Fleming: Aging hippie teacher, still yearning for the day the Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Hungry for the spotlight, resentful of entitled youth.
