Virtual Venue Theatricals to host digital world premiere of 'Heathers: The Musical' Sept. 18-20

Virtual Venue Theatricals, a fully virtual production company, announced the digital world premiere of the hit off-Broadway musical, "Heathers."

The show features a cast and production team from across the United States and Canada, assembled together through Zoom rehearsals.

"Heathers: The Musical," based on the eponymous cult-classic 1988 movie, will stream on www.virtualvenuetheatricals.com on Sept. 18-20.

While the musical will premiere in a nontraditional environment, audiences should not expect a scaled-back experience. Director and lead actress (Veronica Sawyer) Charity Farrell said of the production, "Nothing is getting trimmed. Every element you expect to see from a full-length musical in a live, stage performance is there, plus additional elements we get to explore in this medium. We are honored to have a creative team that has worked throughout the industry on Broadway and off-Broadway, cruise ships, and worldwide in concert series and events. The level of experience from the production team and cast members coupled with the innovation of this platform is going to be truly exciting for audiences to watch."

Created in response to theater shutdowns across the country, Virtual Venue Theatricals celebrates the opportunity to produce high-quality performances online and bring together creatives and audiences without borders.

Indian Head Park native Riley Dominiak (ensemble), said of her participation in the show, "This is the most unique experience I've ever been a part of. The thought of anyone in the world being able to watch our show is mind blowing."

Interested parties can buy tickets for $15/each.

The show runs Sept. 18-20 at 7 p.m. CDT.
