If we had a wider view of the stage this might've been noticed in the background. I'm really pleased that a filmed version of the stage show has been recorded and despite the issues I have with the filming it still does a great job of showing all the best bits of the musical. In the film we see Veronica laughing and then turning it into a cry to cover it up. I can work out which song is in which scene as I've seen it so many times but it would've been nice to have mostly a song per scene for easy viewing.
I personally do not need subtitles but when my friend wanted to turn them on she discovered there was none. In recent years Heathers has quickly become my favourite musical so I couldn't wait to get the DVD so I can continue to watch it far too many times! There are so many upbeat tunes that will make you want to watch the show again and again but there are also lots of more serious songs that show the vulnerabilities of the characters in such an effective way.
Having put off watching Heathers for years I came across a video of it in lockdown and since then have become a fan. I love the innocence that Teleri brings to Macnamara, the boldness Duke shows and the fierce but lovable character Maddi brings to Chandler and all three of them have amazing voices. One instance in particular of this happening is when Veronica mentions that the classroom discussion has stirred up emotions she hasn't felt since hands across America.
I found that for a lot of the show there were far too many closeups and views of the audience. K. I was already a fan of his work in the musical Legally Blonde and his work in Heathers is just as good, if not better. The cast in this version of Heathers is fantastic and in my opinion one of the stronger casts the U.
The Heathers are brilliantly cast and some of my favourites to watch in the roles. The scene selection doesn't even take you to a specific song, it seems to be all very random. This is such a shame as it leaves it inaccessible for those who need subtitles to be able to watch. She brings a lot of depth to the character and has an incredible voice.
However much I love this show though, there were some things from the filming which left me disappointed. Ailsa is one of my favourite Veronica's so it is great to see her portrayal filmed for DVD. Whilst the film is very witty and cleverly written with a great storyline it isn't a film that I'd want to rewatch too often as it feels like it's lacking in something, the music. I like the relationship she shares with Simon as JD but sometimes I feel like this JD is a bit too nice.
