Heathers the Musical Becomes Best-Selling DVD on Amazon
As previously announced, Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment will release Heathers: The Musical's live film on DVD and Blu-Ray in most European markets this summer. It took the DVD release of the London-based musical just two days to become Amazon UK's best-selling musical DVD, with the Blu-Ray release taking the fourth spot, surpassing other popular musicals such as West Side Story, The Greatest Showman, Mamma Mia!, and The Wizard of Oz. Before being released on physical media, the film will premiere this March in cinemas across the UK and Ireland, making it the first time the live capture will be available in the UK since its streaming debut last year in the US and Canada. If you haven't done so yet, here's how to pre-order Heathers: The Musical on DVD and Blu-Ray now: Heathers was filmed last year at its London home, starring its "homecoming" revival cast featuring Ailsa Davidson, Simon Gordon, and Maddison Firth. Unlike other musicals that have waited years before releasing their live captures (we're looking at you, Hamilton), Heathers was released to streaming just three months after being filmed. The recording, which was only available in the US and Canada until now, will now be released in all parts of the world. Kaleidoscope Home Distribution will release Heathers: the Musical on DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK on June 5, 2023. Both releases are now available to pre-order and will become available through most retailers this summer. A pre-order link was added to our Heathers page. The DVD will be Region 2, priced at £10. The Blu-Ray edition will retail for £15 and be region-free. The musical was captured live by STEAM Motion & Sound, known for its popular captures of Newsies, The Phantom of the Opera, Kinky Boots, and many more. Upcoming releases from STEAM include Waitress, The Prince of Egypt, and Bonnie and Clyde the Musical, starring Jeremy Jordan. Launched in 2008, Kaleidoscope is a global independent all-rights entertainment distributor with theatrical, digital, physical, and international distribution operations. The company's catalog contains more than 1,750 feature films. Based on the 1989 cult classic film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater and recorded live in its original London home, The Other Palace, this award–winning musical follows Westerberg High student Veronica Sawyer, whose dreams of popularity finally start to come true when she's taken under the wings of the three beautiful, yet impossibly cruel Heathers. But when a mysterious new kid, teen rebel JD arrives in town, Veronica realizes that while it might kill to be a nobody, it's murder being a somebody… Wickedly funny, with dazzling book, music, and lyrics by Tony Award–nominated, Legally Blonde composer Laurence O'Keefe, and Emmy–winning Reefer Madness author Kevin Murphy, Heathers the Musical is directed by acclaimed screen and stage director Andy Fickman, with electrifying choreography by Thriller Live's Gary Lloyd. How very. The cast featured in the live film includes Ailsa Davidson as Veronica Sawyer, Simon Gordon as J.D, Maddison Firth as Heather Chandler, Vivian Panka as Heather Duke, Teleri Hughes as Heather McNamara, Vicki Lee Taylor as Ms. Fleming/Veronica's Mom, Mhairi Angus as Martha Dunnstock, Liam Doyle as Kurt Kelly, Rory Phelan as Ram Sweeney, Oliver Brooks as Kurt's Dad/Big Bud Dean/Coach Ripper, Andy Brady as Ram's Dad/Principle Gowan/Veronica's Dad.
