The Gen Y Productions' Florida premiere of the hit film adaptation HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL enters its final weekend at The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, FL. Crowds and critics have raved about the production (click here to read my review), and many have come in costume and carrying croquet mallets, Corn Nuts, and red scrunchies at every performance.

As they prepared for their Opening Night, I sat down with the show's stars Nicola Visco (Veronica), Thomas Sanders (J.D.), Lindsey Wells (Heather Chandler), Caroline Drage (Heather Duke), and Jillian Gizzi (Heather McNamara) and chatted about the show, their roles, and what they were like in high school. Check out the video.

Based on the 1989 Brat Pack movie of the same name, the musical tells the story of Veronica Sawyer, who suddenly finds her hum-drum life changed, when she becomes a defacto member of Westerburg High School's elite clique, The Heathers. Immediately on the heels of her newfound popularity, Veronica meets mysterious drifter J.D., who has an unusual way of dealing with bullies.
