I was practicing I say no for an audition and my sister heard and goes « does Mischa sing that »

This is the musical hellfire club. Like the Stranger Things one but has nothing to do with D&D everything to do with fire

The West End version of Heathers is better than the Off Broadway version

Okay no one asked me why the West End revival is the gayest version of Heathers but I wanted to give evidence so here it is.

First off, let's start with the actually canon queerness. I'm talking about New Wave Girl and Stoner Girl. This only turned up in the OG West End cast, so I'll lay it out: during Me Inside Of Me, New Wave puts her arm on Stoner's shoulder, but when Stoner goes to hold her hand she pulls it away:

BUT THEN during the section of MIOM that sings "And you and you and you and youuuuu!" Stoner point to New Wave specifically (just below Ronnie and JD):

Then this happens:

Next, I shall call to the stand the fact that Duke and McNamara's relationship prior to Chandler's death - specifically, defending Duke against Chandler - is a lot more pronounced. As Duke takes Chandler's solo in Candy Store, McNamara is clearly worried and apprehensive about how Chandler will react, even miming telling Duke to get away before she gets hurt.

And later on, rushing to help Duke when she's shoved.

(I know this happens in the Bway version too, but it just hits different here because of how aggressive Chandler was)

Later, during Never Shutting Up Again, McNamara doesn't join in at all. The second Duke steals Veronica's diary, McNamara is by her side, helping her.

And then can be seen standing uncomfortably out of the way for the remainder of the song.

In the Broadway version, she joins and even adds to the lies and rumors during the reprise of Blue, contrasting to this version.

Also during Never Shutting Up Again, Heather Chandler's ghost is clearly angry. She's scowling at Kurt and Ram, throwing her hands up, stalking off, showing very obviously that she's annoyed at what's happening with the lies. She may be a mythic bitch, but they were messing with her Veronica and she was having none of it.

I couldn't get good images of this. I'm not even a big Chansaw shipper, but I found this so cute.

Finally, at the end, Duke takes Veronica's hand and reciprocates her hug.

This is something Broadway Duke doesn't do. Duke was on the edge of becoming the next Chandler, but in that moment, she decided to take whatever chance at normalcy she had and stay with Veronica and McNamara.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

♡ heathers - 24/09/2024 ♡

“what's your damage, heather?”

i didn't actually think id ever get to see this show live omg !!!! after 18 months of torturous waiting, i can officially say that ive seen heathers live.

and christ, did it live up to what i thought.

first of all, seeing jenna in her hometown was just so special. i was getting emotional too (i cried through about a quarter of it id say) seeing someone from your hometown perform on the stage you want to perform on is incredible.

second of all, esme bowdler ??? step on my neck pls ????? like HOLY SHIT. i was gay panicking from my seat. the way she just AGAJAVAJKA. and she was so tall !!!!!! so perfect, the best chandler ive ever seen (ive seen too many bootlegs) THE CANDY STORE RIFF I AUDIBLY GASPED.

next, i got to see madeleine hargrave's mac debut !!!! her lifeboat gave me fucking GOOSEBUMPS OMG ????? AND SHE WAS SO CUTE WHAT !!!!!!! SHE WINKED AT ME IN BOWS I ALMOST DIED.

keelan's jd scared me shitless. i told him this when i met him at stage door, and he said “so many people say that, what is it about me?” and i was like “dude, you have veins bursting out your head during meant to be yours” and he laughed !!!

BUT SERIOUSLY STAGE DOOR WAS JUST AMAZINGGGG. my theatre doesn't really have a whole lot of stage doorers, but there was tonnes !!!! almost every cast member i met complimented my outfit (i was dressed as veronica !!!!) and everyone was so sweet !!!!!

MS FLEMING WAS SO FUNNY HELP ME. steve was an icon, he took his glasses off and played along cheeky fucker it was insane.

honestly everything about it was just incredible. amy's kindergarten boyfriend made me sob. i started a cheer when veronica goes “lick it up, baby, lick. it. up” and everyone followed along and started cheering too !!!! same just before shine a light, when ms fleming goes “hellooo westerburg !!!!” no one else cheered and then i went “WOOOO” and she SMILED AT ME (i was in row b so she could see me !!!)

id attach my bows video but all you can hear is me cheering and crying so !!!!!

oh oh and the merch i got !!!! i got a programme, brochure, magnet and script !!!!! i already had a scrunchie :) ALSO !!! id been saving up for months, ive been saying “oh, i can't, ive got heathers soon” for too long but now i am poor :( /silly

overall, so so so incredibly lucky, this show has been on my list for years, and to finally see it, and for it to be my 40th ever show is insane. so much love for this show !!!!!!!

DONT FORGET TO BUY CORN NUTS !!!!! ITS NOT A PARTY WITHOUT CORN NUTS !!!!!!
