‘The Heathers Musical’ Returns And It Features A Beloved Cast

Casting is now complete for the upcoming off-Broadway production of Heathers The Musical taking place at New World Stages.

Some of the actors featured in this production are Kerry Butler, who plays Ms. Fleming, Victoria’s mom, and Ben Davis, who plays Ram’s Dad, Big Bud Dean, and Coach Ripper. The two actors join other previously established actors such as Lorna Courtney, who plays Veronica, and Casey Likes as J.D. The person who plays Heather Duke is Olivia Hardy, while Elizabeth Teeter plays Heather McNamara.

“I think we’ve assembled one of the greatest casts we’ve ever had for Heathers,” Andy Fickman said in a statement. “Talk about luxury, casting! We’re over the moon to have the remarkable Kerry Butler, one of Broadway’s favorite leading ladies, as Miss Fleming and Victoria’s mom.

The statement continued: “We caught lightning in a bottle with Erin Morton as our Martha, and her take on ‘kindergarten boyfriend’ will break many hearts, Xavier McCannon, and Cade Ostermeyer are the perfect team as Ram and Kurt, and we are blessed to have two Broadway vocal powerhouses Ben Davis, and Cameron Loyal as their dads.

Syn Sider, who plays Stoner chick, and Cade Ostermeyer, who plays Kurt, were discovered at our open calls. Their talent and many others bowled us we saw during that process, whom we hope to work with in the future. In the meantime, we can’t wait to get school in session for this year‘s class of Westberg High.”
