Welcome to Westerberg High! Lisa Ann Walter will join the cast of Heathers The Musical off Broadway this spring for performances starting on April 27.

Walter’s fan-favorite screen roles include Melissa on Abbott Elementary and Chessy in The Parent Trap, and she now makes her NYC stage debut. In Heathers, she will assume the role of Ms. Fleming/Veronica’s Mom from Kate Rockwell.

The current Heathers cast also includes Kuhoo Verma as Veronica Sawyer, Casey Likes as Jason “J.

The Heathers musical is adapted from the cult-classic 1988 movie about high school nobody Veronica, whose high school experience turns upside down when she gets inducted into the exclusive Heathers clique and meets J.D., who doesn’t exactly kill for popularity.

Heathers is currently scheduled to play at New World Stages through September 6.
