- OHMYGOD HEY!
This week it was announced that HEATHERS would be filmed professionally during its run at the Other Palace Theatre.
Fans of the show are wondering if we will see the return of such former stars as Carrie Hope Fletcher, Jamie Muscato and Jodie Steele alongside the show’s more recent cast members such as Hannah Lowther.
Check out today's new video to find out everything we know so far about the planned recording including how to get tickets for the filming!

Speaking of pro-shots. Has anyone else noticed that Six is shut for a week at the end of June, the week after the original cast reunite for the Hampton Court shows? Could a Six pro-shot actually be happening?
if you just saw my other reply ignore that lmao, i didn’t read your comment properly
There is a pro shot happening for six
Confirmed now yayy!!!
I do think the Heathers team is BEYOND aware of how viral Jamie Muscato's performance as JD is, and how much the fans want to see him return to the role, so I think if he's not JD in the pro-shot, it certainly won't be for lack of trying. Jamie's moved into the position of the definitive JD at this point. I can also see them keeping Simon Gordon in the role, given the general excitement for his return in March. That said, I think Ailsa is likely to be in her role for the pro-shot and already comes across as a quite young Veronica for Simon's JD onstage, while Jamie, while being older, does play JD generally younger than Simon does. (Being older, he would also help balance things if they decide to immortalise Jodie Steele's Heather Chandler.)
I will say the fact that it's pretty much guaranteed not to be Christina Bennington (moved to New York) and Jordan Luke Gage (starring in Bonnie & Clyde) reprising their 2021 Haymarket roles breaks my heart a tad - they were fantastic, the camera loves them both, and their electric chemistry I think would carry a pro-shot very well.
(From social media, looks like Simon Gordon may be using this time as a holiday...)
@@phililili23 They also have to not give away who the cast is though so it could be anyone!
I completely agree, Jamie Muscato's JD is unmatched
Being in America and not knowing when, if ever, this show will appear on stages over here again, I’m ecstatic to hear that there is going to be a proshot. I 100% would love to see Jamie reprise his role as JD because he did such a scary good job. I’m so excited for this. 😍
You will have the pro shot before the uk
You mentioned how Legally Blonde and Heathers had more successful runs in London and how one show lead to the other, but you missed the connection that they were both composed by Laurence O’Keefe!
He also wrote Bat Boy, which had an amazing production at the Southwark Playhouse a few years ago. I'd love to see that return as well!
Here is my dream cast:
Veronica- Carrie Hope Fletcher
JD- Jamie Muscato
Heather Chandler- Jodie Steele
Heather Macnamara- Hannah Lowtether
Heather Duke- Inez Budd
Martha- Lizzie Bea
Kurt- Christopher Chung
Ram- Dominic Andersen
Ms Fleming- Georgina Hagen (she was uk tour ms Fleming when I went to see the show and her whole audience interactions were fantastic. She was hilarious, and even responded to audience comments that weren’t Steve)
Edit: Ik that this is very OG west End cast heavy, but imo they were the best
ram- tom or dom idm but tom was a rlly good ram
i was thinking exactly the same up to martha!!!!!
I would prefer Vicki Lee Taylor as Ms Fleming because she was absolutely amazing
Barret wilbert weed still holds the strongest Veronica portrayal imo
Carrie can't pull it off anymore. Her voice got wrecked during the show. They won't be able to do it full out, and not to mention they had to transpose some songs down for her because she couldn't hit the notes. She's nearly 30, and wayyyyyyy too old to be playing a 17 year old.
Back in 2007, Legally Blonde is what got me back into theatre after having been the worlds biggest Annie fan as a child. I was home sick one day and there was a video on YT that said "Legally Blonde The Musical" and I was like oh sure I'm sure it is a parody or something. It became my obsession. I wouldn't say it is still my favorite show by any means but it holds a special place in my heart.
my dream casting :
- veronica: ailsa davidson
- JD: jamie muscato or jordan luke gage
- heather chandler: jodie steele
- heather mac: literally any i loved them all!
heather duke: inez budd
& literally any ram or kurt they are all so good!!
My Dream Cast:
Veronica: Ailsa Davidson
JD: Jamie Muscato
Heather Chandler: Jodie Steele
Heather Macnamara: Hannah Lowther
Heather Duke: Inez Budd
Martha: Lizzie Bea
Kurt: George Maddison
Ram: Tom Scanlon
Nobody ever talks about the orchestra, I’d like a fuller orchestra. For example, I’d like two-three keyboards, two guitars, a trombone, two trumpet, another Reed player, and a violin added to the show
Shows for younger audience take off more in the UK because the tickets are significantly cheaper. The most expensive ticket for Six on the West End is 32GBP (40USD) than the cheapest ticket for Six on Broadway, after you include processing fees for both of them. It's only 22GBP (28USD) if you somehow can get them without ticket handling fees.
Also it's probably easier for kids to get to a show with good public transport
I would LOVE Jamie Muscato to come back 😫
I love love love pro shots!!! Makes theatre so much more accessible to the masses. And (for me anyway) they really don't take away from the live performances because you can't beat the live atmosphere.
Edit to say: only recently discovered your channel and love it so much I'm working my way through your videos xxxx
Nice to get some positive news today following the shock announcement that Cinderella is closing next month. Apparently none of the new cast rehearsing at the moment knew so found out via social media :(
my dream cast:
veronica- Carrie Hope Fletcher/becca wickes
JD- jamie muscato (is that even a question)
chandler- jodie steele
mac- hannah lowther
duke- inez budd
martha- lizzie bea
kurt- liam doyle (uk tour
Veronica: Carrie/Ailsa
JD: Jamie Muscato
Heather C: Jodie Steele (she is iconic)
Heather M: Sophie Isaacs/Frances Mayli
Heather D: Inez Budd
Ms Fleming: Rebecca Lock
Ensemble: May Tether, Lauren Drew, Charlotte Jaconelli and idk who else
Well now that Cinderella is being cut short, Carrie may be letting Georgina (her alternate) or other people like Lauren Burns cover her for those two weeks whilst she does the pro shot for Heathers!? Obviously we dont actually know that, but I do hope so!!
She also said that she was workshopping a show….
I hope not
I hope so, but Carrie said that she’s workshopping a show and she’s also doing her book tour (which I’m not sure if that’s still going on) and I think if Cinderella’s closing they’re going to want her to do as many performances as possible.
@@redfirefixfox9611 That is true, some people thought that the ‘workshopping’ could be for Heathers as they have changed a lot of the blocking since Carries been in it (but that is probably wishful thinking) and I do believe her book tour as finished, but she is doing her solo concert but I think that’s next year. But if Carrie isn’t going to play Veronica, I know Ailsa who plays Veronica now has an amazing voice as I saw her last month, and wouldn’t be too surprised if they pick her for the pro shot!!
@@margoc88 same, I’d much rather Rebecca Wickes
Heathers is my favourite musical and I loved this production so I'm looking forward to seeing this proshot. Also can't wait to see the cast
The worry I would have about using a Veronica and JD who don't know each other is that they might not have enough time to build that chemistry that's really needed in those roles. As much as I would like to see Jamie as JD and Ailsa as veronica its a short time to get to know each other. (Carrie is the dream Veronica but Cinderella doesn't close till after filming so its not very likely they will get her).
It's essentially a good point, but theatre actors are quite skilled at building chemistry in a matter of days or even hours because of the nature of their work. Jamie, for example, was opposite Olivia Moore for one or two shows total in the original London run, and their chemistry was great. Ailsa has played opposite, what, 5 or 6 different JDs now in the current West End run? So, it's for sure a concern, but I don't see it surfacing as an actual problem.
but like if hannah lowther is not in this proshot i might cry or sue or scream or all of the above
personally i feel like if jamie comes back then carrie would be the best veronica chemistry wise because they had so much chemistry together however i could be wrong and pleasnatly surprised
So this is my dream cast vs what I actually think it will be.
Dream Cast:
Veronica - Carrie Hope Fletcher
JD - Jamie Muscato
H. Chandler - Emma Kingston (I am a massive fan of Jodie Steele and would also love to see her but I'm just too curious to see how Emma did/would do in the role)
H. McNamara - Hannah Lowther
H. Duke - Inez Budd
Martha - I would love Jenny or Lizzie I can't choose
Kurt - George Maddison
Ram - Tom Scanlon
Ms Fleming - Rebecca Lock
Slightly Realistic Cast:
Veronica - Ailsa Davidson
JD - Simon Gordon (although I think Jamie could very well be JD)
H. Chandler - Maddison Firth
H. McNamara - Teleri Hughes
H. Duke - Bobbie Little (I quite honestly have no idea who could be playing Duke because both Inez and Eliza have left, what if its Hannah again!)
Martha - Jenny O'Leary (Lizzie would be most probable but she has now left too I believe)
Kurt - Christopher Chung
Ram - Dominic Andersen
Ms Fleming - Vicki Lee Taylor
I know everyone understandably adoreees jodie steele, but i think most of the people underestimate Maddison Firths Chandler - shes a mythic bitch, she does an amazing job, and id think it would be kind of unfair for the current cast if theyd just replace some of them with actors that previously played the role.
Yes yes yes!!!
I really hope Ailsa gets to do the pro shot!!!!! Would be a slap in the face if she gets snubbed for Carrie just because cinders has ended. 💙
Me too!! Not a fan of Carrie’s Veronica personally & Ailsa is definitely the best I’ve seen!
I’ve not seen Aisla as Veronica yet but I completely agree with you! It would be so unfair to choose Carrie after every other Veronica has also smashed the role
I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN YOU MENTIONED JAMIE MUSCATO
I would LOVE if ailsa was Veronica in the film.. she is beyond phenomenal
Sameee
Same here!! Shes honestly the best veronica i have seen
I totally agree!
Personally adore Madison Firth and love that she's a *slightly* more plus size Heather Chandler, would love to see her performance saved in film! I saw the UK tour and loved every one of them, Veronica and Heather Mac were also stand outs for me
I hope these pro shots actually get released,, I was at the filming of Lazarus and it has only had limited online screeningswhich we had to wait years for... we need DVDS etc..
This is my dream cast (Ik some of these might not be available but it would be cool to see them)
Veronica - Carrie Hope Fletcher
J.D. - Jamie Muscato
Chandler - Jodie Steele
Duke - Inez Budd
McNamara - Sophie Isaacs
Martha - Katie Ladner
Kurt - Chris Chung
Ram - Tom Scanlon
I physically need Tom as ram he's amazing ,I saw him about 2 weeks ago it was the best thing ever
My understanding is that Aladdin had two cast members who had already performed their roles in Australia - Ainsley Melham as Aladdin (who later went to Broadway) and Robert Tripolino as Omar.
Anyway yes, so excited for Heathers!
DREAM CAST:
Veronica: Carrie Hope Fletcher (I mean come on)
JD: Jamie Muscato (he's terrifying, and also recently TikTok trending, good for publicity)
Heather C: Jodie Steele (she's brilliant from what I've seen in bootlegs and the cast recording)
Heather M: Elle McLemore (unlikely, but my favourite member of the original cast)
Heather D: Courtney Bowman ( her NSUA would be stunning based on her DLYH) OR Layton Williams (gender-queer HD was the only good thing about the Paramount Heathers nightmare)
Martha Dunnstock: Katie Ladner (more OG cast, brilliant acting)
Ram & Kurt: Dominic Anderson and Christ Chung (iconic in OG West End cast)
Ms Fleming: Lauren Drew (great vocals, would be great at the sassy improv to Steve)
i LOVE the idea of layton playing duke!!
When i saw Heathers Olivia was playing Veronica, she was good. Id love to see Elisa or Carrie play Veronica.
Would love Jodie and Sophie to be filmed Sophie singing lifeboat.
I guess im probably abit biased on who i saw when i went with my mum n it being the first westend show ive been to.
Im just happy that more shows are being filmed for those of us who for one reason or another struggle to get to the theatre (or more than one ( seating being one reason and the number of disability seating especially if you don't use a wheelchair but require a separate seat - which I can say the theatre were able to sort for me, after i emailed etc)
I became a fan of Heathers when two classmates performed "Seventeen" at a school concert.
Since then I've become more familiar with the off-Broadway cast. (Ryan McCartan is my JD)
What was very exciting was when there was a small local production (in Aus) I go to see. My brother's friend was in the ensemble as that one creepy kid, so I will cast him.
Are you talking about the run in Sydney? I went to that it was amazing!
@@soodghbcf8398 It was a small production in Townsville (North Queensland)
I did see Lion King in Sydney though (like 7 years ago?) That was epik
@@apocalypsepreventionagency oh cool!
Heathers just had a quick run at the end of Feb in Sydney. Soo good!
I really wanna see Jamie and Carrie again!! The bootleg I have of them is just great and it's my favourite version of Heathers
i’m so excited for this! now i don’t have to watch…*cough*…”slime tutorials”
Proshot! FINALLY!
As someone who has been an avid fan of the Heathers movie & musical since its offbroadway days, this is HUGE! Though I don't really like the changes that have been made since its transfer, the fact that it became a hit in the West End is a testament to the potential all of us fans saw in it despite its initial closing.
Heathers is and has been hugely popular with American theater kids and teens into the alternative scene in general. The problem is that it never caught on with the people with the corporate funding. It’s a fan favorite but they just never caught on with the executives. If they gave it a genuine on-broadway run now in New York I’m sure it would be a runaway success if they gave it the chance
My Dream Cast because yes
Veronica - Ailsa Davidson
JD - Jamie Muscato
Heather Chandler - Jodie Steele
Heather Duke - Inez Budd
Heather Mac - Teleri Hughes
Kurt - Christopher Chung
Ram - Dominic Andersen
Martha - Lizzie Bea
Miss Fleming - Vicki Lee Taylor
I’d love to see Cameos from Carrie and Barret though because I loved both their performances too, although I got to see Ailsa live and to be honest fell in love with her performance too much to not have her as my 1. Veronica
I personally think it should be the cast they currently have to do the filming.
i think its so disrespectful to have them use any other cast than the current
I love everyone in all casts but I would be able to die peacefully if Jamie plays jd.
I love how much Mickey Jo uses his hands in his videos! (: I am so enjoying all of these videos! (:
I would LOVE if Barrett Wilbert Weed were in it somehow, Ryan McCartan too. It would just be so exciting to see them in the film. I also would love to see Jamie Muscato come back to play JD
yess fr! barrett has the best voice I've ever heard tbh
god, if jamie came back i would die. i would DIE to see him close up
they def need an audience bc of the steve part in shine a light.
Not seeing enough love for Emma Kingston Chandler here!! My absolute fave and dream for the proshot
I would absolutely love to see Jamie come back as JD!!
I would actually LOVE to have Maddison for Heather C! She was so good when I saw her ❤️
"Oh my god hey yo Westerburg" really got me - that's some good shit ❤
id love to see teleri and ailsa as mcnamara an veronica again, favourite duo!! i do wonder who they’ll cast though
i was blown away by Jacob Fowler's vocals... woooop!!!
I don't like the "ballot" idea
Those tickets should go to those who'd performances got cancelled because of this proshot
100% agree with you! So awful if they never get to see the show and others take their place :(
So good to hear you hype Legally Blonde - IT CHANGED THE GAME
I’m so excited to go to the pro shot performances, feel so lucky to have won tickets!!
jamie👏🏼muscato👏🏼please👏🏼
Winona as Veronica's mother, Carrie and Barret as policewomen?
THIS OMG
I’d love to see Jordan back as JD, but doubt that will happen, so my next pick would be Jacob. I hope they keep teleri as Mac. I’d love to see Jodie as Chandler, but am slightly concerned that she looks older than the rest of the cast. But if they don’t have George and Tom as Kurt and Ram I honestly think I will cry. They have most definitely been the best Kurt and Ram ever, and their chemistry is amazing.
There are too many shows that London appreciates way more than Broadway. Sad 😢
I had tickets for 14 May and was emailed to say that the show had been cancelled due to filming. I got to rebook for no charge but would have loved to be there for the filming.
Carrie and Jamie will always be Veronica and JD for me. Would love to see them in the pro shot.
I don't get this why if there is already a performance booked for that day with audience who already has tickets why do they not just film with the audience of the day??
As for dreamcasting I would like to put myself forward to play Ram
i really want to see george maddison and tom scanlon as kurt and ram again! i’ve seen them 4 times and they are my favourite kram duo
I would want
Chandler-emma don't remember her last name sorry
Macnemara-teleri
Duke-tshauna Williams
Veronica-ailsa
Jd-simon Gordon
Martha-lizzie Bea
Ram-ton scanlon
Kurt-george maddison
Si’s JD gives me life haha, you got your wish for the Jd and Veronica ❤
I would love to see the original cast because I feel all of them fit the roles perfectly and Jamie and Carrie felt like perfect matches for jd and Veronica although i dont know what the availability would be of most the original cast
I would love to see Carrie and Jamie again. And it had just been announced that Cinderella is closing on the 12th of June also Carrie doesn’t perform Cinderella everyday
I really hope the proshot gets released like Hamilton! I live in Sweden and if it doesn’t get released on a streaming website I probably will never get to see it :/
I may not be British, but when I find out about this proshot, my first reaction was HELL YEAH!
I think for it to be the most fair and get the best mix all the actors is to do another audition process with them pick the best for every part and who work together the besy
I just need Ailsa Davidson as Veronica and I also really loved Emma Kingston as Chandler
I obviously need Hannah to be in it and Lizzie Bea deserves the role x
I don’t think any of the cast who left today will be in the pro shot just Because they all put on their stories how sad they were to perform their songs for the “last time” :((
Carrie actually mentioned in one of her insta posts recently that’s she’s ‘workshopping a musical’ during the day atm.. could it be for this? Or anyone know what she’s working on?
I was wondering the same thing when I saw Carrie's post - I hope she is going to do it and I'd love Jamie come back too
She also mentioned having to learn harmonies for that workshop - don‘t think that would apply to Heathers.
@@trixiftube Hmm, you could be right there. I wonder what she is doing then? Interesting!
I don’t think she’s workshopping Heathers tbh, they have not started rehearsals/filming for that, they will star next week. I love Carrie and I loved her as Veronica, however I hope they will be using the current cast and Ailsa as Veronica.
I think she’s workshopping something new. She mentionned that one of the songs she rehearsed was new material and could become her favourite song from a musical ever.
I’d love for Jacob to return but he’s on tour with little mix atm so it will probably be Simon
Hannah Lowther confirmed she will be in the proshot in her vlog! Fingers crossed she’s a Heather (Duke because Inez left?) but most likely new wave girl
veronica- becca/ ailsa
jd- simon/ jacob
chandler- maddi
mac- lizzy
duke- inez
martha- lizzie bea
ram- rory
kurt- liam doyle
mrs fleming- becky
my dream cast is basically uk tour 😭
As my name is Heather I really wanna go see the musical!! 🤗💜💚
Veronica- Carrie Hope Fletcher
JD- Jamie Muscato/ Dominic Harrison (yes ik thats yungblud but his energy is everything and i love it)
Heather Chandler- Jodie Steele
Heather Macnamara- Sophie Isaacs
Heather Duke- T'Shan Williams
Martha- Lizzie Bea
Kurt- Christopher Chung
Ram- Dominic Andersen
Ms Fleming- Rebecca Lock
ailsa is THE only person who can play veronica, no one does it like her
i also think teleri and inez are the best mac and duke
I agree with this comment in every aspect of it
i'm just excited for it being filmed at all
the amount of money i would pay to get to watch jaime as jd again (and again...ect.).
as much as i enjoyed carrie as veronica the way you've sung the praises of alisa makes me really want to see her, being an ocean away this filming would be my only way and then obviously jodie
i don't really have much of an opinion on the rest of the cast as i've only seen the first run and am across the atlantic i am not super familiar with the west end so i've no idea what any of the non original cast is like
Tom Scanlon.
That is all :P
(And Jacob Fowler, his menace and vocals were fantastic)
I'm all for every musical getting pro shots. 1. Not everyone can afford to see these musicals 2. the stage musicals are often better than movies.
Am I the only one who wants to see Winnona Ryder come over here to do Miss Fleyming....
Damn you Mickey for making me think about this very implausible thing
But it'd be cute....
I want it
Wonder when the prince of Egypt the musical will be released. Think they filmed it in December
Where can you watch all the pro shoots of the other shows you mentioned?
Did Prince of Egypt do a pro shot? i never got to see it so I would love it!
It did, for cinema and DVD release. However, no date announced as yet.
@@trixiftube Excellent, can't wait :)
Yes you got the freshman sophomore thing correct
I came across on TikTok a girl that nobody knows announce that she’s going to play heather chandler for the pro shoot.
I would like to see:
Veronica: Ailsa,
JD: Jamie duh
Chandler: Jodie
Mac: Frances
Duke: Inez
PLEASE do a video about Legally Blonde and how iconic it is!!! Elle is such a high-energy and challenging role but I feel like the whole musical often gets written off for being "silly" or "girly" etc.
Unpopular opinion…
Becca Wicks from Tour as Veronica,
Jodie or Maddi as Heather C
Inez as Heather Duke
Sophie Issacs as Heather Mac
Daisy Twells as new wave girl
And definitely May as drama geek
Please God bring Carrie back for it
i just want olivia moore as veronica 😭😭 she's my absolute fave
Is Alisa said like Elsa?
🤞Carrie
Can you say whose leaving and what they’re going into, x
I think Inez will still be Heather duke for the pro shot!
Is it not going to be a full length live performance then ? will it be snippets of different performances?
Proshots are no live recordings, theyre usually filming scenes several times, with and without audience and cut together a version from all that material to guarantee the best possible outcome
Where can I watch legally blond pro-shot ?
I’ll finally get to find out why those two guys end up in their underwear.
😭😭😭
I would love Jodie Steele to be Heather Chandler, and to bring comparably aged-looking people to play against her, my dream would involve grabbing Barrett and Ryan from the NY cast. That's not gonna happen obviously but since we're doing dream casting 😂
Jacob ♡ please
Heathers has a HUGE cult fan following, kinda shocked it didn’t go to Broadway. But I wonder how much of this might have to do with everything being so much closer in the UK. If a bunch of teenage theatre fans from Ohio are obsessed with Heathers, it’s not like they can splurge to take a one day train trip to see it. They would need to either drive for 3 days or buy a flight to the most expensive city in the country and try to stay for a night somewhere.
I will never get over Barett Wilbert Weed as Veronica. Love Carrie (have been watching her on you tube since before she even auditioned for Les Mis) but Barett just IS Veronica (and y’all are not as good at American accents as you think haha)
Alisa x Jamie x 1000
I just don't love Lizzie as Martha (love her in general though) and Jodie owns her role.
Just get Chris Pratt to play all the Heathers.
