Heathers: The Musical will again embark on a U.K. tour this summer.

Produced by Bill Kenwright and Paul Taylor-Mills, the tour will launch July 24 at the Theatre Royal in Windsor, where it will play through July 27. It will then head to the Theatre Royal in Bath, with several more stops scheduled through November 9.

The musical features a book, music, and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe.

Based on the 1989 cult favorite film, Heathers: The Musical follows Westerberg High student Veronica Sawyer, who's on track to become one of the most popular girls in school after befriending the beautiful but cruel Heathers, only to meet a mysterious teen rebel who changes everything.

The musical premiered at Los Angeles' Hudson Backstage Theatre in 2013 before moving Off-Broadway the following year. The New York run would prove to be short-lived, running less than four months, but the musical followed the success of its source material to become a cult favorite thanks to its cast album and productions at regional theatres and schools.

The musical subsequently bowed at London's The Other Palace in 2018 before breaking box-office records and transferring to Theatre Royal Haymarket the same year, where it ran until August of last year.

The musical is directed by Andy Fickman with choreography by Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell, and sound by Dan Samson.
