This week we chat with Helen Stephens about which of life's truths can be gleaned from sassy, sexy, darkly comedic retro satire that has taken the world by storm - Heathers!
Marilyn Stasio, writing for Variety, wrote "...Seasoned industry pros could pick up a few tips on the Do’s and Don’ts of adapting material from this smartly executed musical treatment of “Heathers.” She praised the lyrics but was not a fan of the music, writing: "Even at their giddiest, the lyrics never dumb down the characters singing them.
