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. Wish we could say the same for the music, which is brassy and blah and sounds nothing like the music that made the 80s the 80s."
