I saw Freddie King again in a smaller cabaret gig recently where he did some Heathers songs and I do think he deserves a second chance with JD after how his run got cut short. Clearly some fans of his would be happy too and he seems like a lovely guy. I was personally very impressed by his performance when I saw him before he left the show earlier this year and it would be great news to see him return.

Nottingham Theatre Royal are teasing on Facebook an announcement tomorrow that is clearly Heathers. So at least one more stop is being added to the tour.

Hey all!
I've never seen Heathers and I'm considering catching the tour when it comes to Dublin this April. Is it worth the trip?

Hey all! I've never seen Heathers and I'm considering catching the tour when it comes to Dublin this April. Is it worth the trip? Lots of us enjoy the show, so I'd say yes, assuming Dublin isn't too far for you to travel. It's quite a small scale show and set, so I'd think you'd want to sit near the front of that massive theatre to make the mot of it.

Any inklings of any cast for this? It opens in a couple of weeks but can’t see any announcement yet.

I didn't want to start a new thread and given it is around the UK this fitted better than the London thread. The cinema broadcast has been finally officially announced and has its own website. heathersmusicalfilm.co.uk/It appears to be one night only and not playing many screens.

Anyone got any casting suspicions for this yet? The cast have started rehearsals today so we can’t be too far off an announcement!

If it's anything like the London run, it'll be a different cast each night.

I'm interested to find out if it's mainly people returning from previous iterations of the show (as with every Blood Brothers tour), or if they've gone with a new cast.

Excited to see how many swings they have "room" for on the tour!

Excited for the cast announcement. Show is coming locally to me, so for once it's not a six hour round trip to London every month! Would love a Rebecca Wickes Veronica again.

Becca Wickes is currently in the tour cast of Six as Katherine Howard. But you just never know she might be back later in the run

May has just announced shes leaving heathers at TOP so i wonder if shes gonna be tour veronica?! I haven’t seen actual confirmation but I got the impression that she’s leaving on the same day as Maddison Firth, 19th February, which is after the tour starts.

May was advertising acting through song lessons so I doubt she is playing Veronica.

May has just announced shes leaving heathers at TOP so i wonder if shes gonna be tour veronica?! Her announcement seems to be very much saying goodbye to Heathers full stop, rather than moving from The Other Palace to the tour.

Jenna Innes was an incredible Eponine in Mis. looks like this should be a strong cast.

Whilst there is excitement about the news of the tour casting bringing back cast favourites such as Jacob Folwer (JD), within 30 mins of the announcement the show to being slated on socials for its lack of diversity in the casting, hiring only 2 POC and for the token roles that has always been done of Duke and Young republicanette , very poor on Heathers behalf and not a great start to their tour. This is not the first time the show has been picked up on their lack of diversity and I think we all hoped this time would be different, sadly it is not.

This show will never change tbh you only have to look at the creative teams casting for other shows it says a lot tbh

Does it look like there are any swings? Sorry with all these large touring venues they are going to, they don't have the room!
