Welcome to Westerberg High.
Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody, until she's swept into the orbit of the three most ruthless girls in school - all named Heather. She's got the power, the popularity, and the perfect ponytail... until the arrival of the mysterious, dangerously charming J.D. sends things spiralling somewhere much darker.
Heathers: Teen Edition is a razor-sharp, high-energy musical about cliques, cruelty, and the courage it takes to find your own voice in a world obsessed with fitting in. Big vocals, bold performances, and a talented young cast bring this cult classic to Auckland stages for four nights only.
Brought to you by StageAntics - where rangatahi (young people) take the stage, take risks, and find their people.
Duration: Approx. 2 hours 30 minutes, including a 20-minute interval
Content Advisory: Heathers: Teen Edition is a dark comedy that deals with serious themes through satire and stylised performance.
Age Recommended: 14+ Children under the age of 15 must be under the supervision of a responsible adult (18 years of age or older) at all times.
Warning: This performance contains haze effects, loud noises including gunshots, flashing lights and strobe lighting, as well as strong mature themes including bullying, murder, suicide, sexual violence and references to eating disorders.
While presented with theatrical distance, these themes may be confronting for some audience members. Parent/guardian discretion is advised, and we encourage anyone sensitive to these topics to consider this information before booking.
WHEN: 10 -13 September 2026
WHERE: Westpoint Performing Arts Centre, Westmere
