I've just gotten into the Heathers musical, and WOAH!!!! What a phenominal soundtrack!!!! Like, wow! I could listen to 'Beautiful' and 'Candy Store' and 'Freeze Your Brain' and 'Meant To Be Yours' for the rest of eternity (WARNING: The Heathers musical has strong language, satirical homophobia [some football jocks are homophobic as part of how close-minded and crude they are], a HEAVY theme of bullying, murder, mass murder, and suicide, as well as a focus on the glamorization of suicide and how lame it is. There's also implications of abuse, alcoholism, mentions of drugs and some blatant nsfw stuff ['Dead Girl Walking' is essentially 'I'm Doomed, Best Find My Guy And Get It On', and the aforementioned football jocks spread some disgusting rumors about the protagonist]. Honestly, go into this musical with caution, as some songs can actually be a little intense.)!! The acting and singing is phenomenal, and while certain aspects of the musical differ from the movie (Personally, I like the movie more, but that doesn't mean I
dislike the musical in the slightest), like JD's motivations and certain character roles, it's
such a good show all around oh my g o s h - Listen for yourself to some of my faves!! (Warning: 'Beautiful' and 'Candy Store' contain crude language and offensive insults, along with a light, nonchalant reference to eating disorders [Beautiful] that some may not be fans of. 'Freeze Your Brain' references cocaine, familial death, and a neglective parent. 'Meant To Be Yours' is a big ol' villain song, with some creepy lines here and there and blatant exclamations that the singer is going to kill a lot more people and make it look like suicides - And towards the end of the song he sees that the protagonist has supposedly killed herself, which could upset some listeners. The song also contains a few heavy curses, which is common in all the Heathers musical songs, actually.)
Sorry for the link dump, I'm just, aaaaa! So excited!!!
