  1. I went to see Heathers - The Musical last night at #CanberraTheatre with wife, daughter and daughter's friend.

    Heathers (1989) is one of my favourite movies and I was wondering how a modern, musical interpretation would work. And the answer is... Brilliantly!

    They retained all the great the one liners: "Dear Diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count.", "I don't patronize bunny rabbits.", "I got paid in puke." and many more but they also expanded some lines and concepts through song - particularly "I love my dead, gay son".

    The saccharine sweetness that usually goes with musicals was pleasantly absent. If anything, they doubled down on the cynicism and darkness of the original movie.

    I loved it - big fun. 9/10 slushies.
