Based on the cult classic from 1989, originally starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, this musical comes to London, “The Other Palace”, and is available to view for Amazon Prime Video subscribers.
Over the past year or so, I have slowly been finding a new interest in west end musicals, and have always wanted to see this musical live, however, right now in my life it is difficult to attend popular west end musicals in London, until I move to be closer to London later this year. I am, however, glad this one has been recorded for Amazon Prime Video for people who are unable to attend the live showing of this.
Heathers The Musical is a dark comedy that explores the social hierarchy at Westerberg High School, where students are tormented by jocks and the school is ruled by a girl named Heather McNamara. The musical explores themes of teenage life, bullying, love, popularity, suicide, and school violence.
The music in this Amazon Prime Video show is excellent, as well as the wardrobe, casting, and makeup.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and do recommend giving this a watch. It is available for free to view under an Amazon Prime Video subscription for a limited time (though I’m unsure when it will become an additional purchase).
I rate this musical a 4 star rating.
I have not given this a 5-star due to the adverts in between this showing, which I blame Amazon Prime Video for, as I felt immersed in the musical and felt I had been part of the audience, and then BAM! an advert slaps me in the face.
I still recommend this to anyone who likes musicals and wants to see Heathers.
