  • Have a listen to the 2021 Heathers leading cast members in action singing "Dead Girl Walking"!
    Directed by Andy Fickman and led by Christina Bennington and Jordan Luke Gage, the piece also stars Jodie Steele as Heather Chandler, alongside Bobbie Little as Heather Duke and Frances Mayli McCann as Heather McNamara. They will be joined by Lauren Ward (Fleming/Veronica's Mother), Madison Swan (Martha), Simon Bailey (Ram's Dad/Big Bud Dean/Coach), Joaquin Pedro Valdes (Ram Sweeney) and Steven Serlin (Kurt's Dad/Veronica's Dad/Principle Gowan).
    Also in the show will be Ross Harmon as Kurt alongside Aimee Hodnett, Christopher Parkinson, Giles Surridge, Iván Fernández González, Rachel Rawlinson, Rumi Sutton and Teleri Hughes.
    Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy's musical is based on the iconic film of the same name, following a school girl, Veronica, who tries to fit in with the elitist clique of "Heathers". It previously ran at The Other Palace and in the West End in 2018, going on to win the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical the subsequent year.
    Choreography and associate direction is by Thriller Live's Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell and sound by Dan Samson.

    My aesthetic and forever mood is Christina absolutely giving 110% and performing like her life depends on it while Jordan just stands there like he's in the queue at McDonald's.

      I love her voice so much and I really think she just overall an incredible performer ✨ I just wish she had more dynamics in her acting because some of the most tragic scenes feel almost "comedic" from the way she acts them out ( I am just a singer, not an actor so pls feel free to correct me). In this case, it doesn't show much, but on stage it does a lil'. Her chemistry with Jordan though is SO SO SO good.

      @@valentineferrero7079 Yeah I liked her portrayal of the character and she made serious moments funny which I liked but at the same time didn't? I liked it coz it made me laugh but I felt that the moment should've been more serious. Overall I don't really mind because I still REALLY enjoyed her performance.

    They're both insanely talented but I'm just not a fan of Christina's tone. Her range is crazy but in everything she sounds like a child and the tone is quite thin. Maybe that's because she's played very young roles. Will be great to see which other characters she adapts to in coming years. 👏👏

    Damnit Christina
    I'm trying so hard not to fall madly in love with her.
    Then she sings this without the drunkenness like she does in the show and adds some rock to it and sings the song like it's closing night on west end
    You're really making it difficult!
    Seriously tho. what an amazing voice

  • @luvmenow33

    I have a question for those of you more familiar with Christina's other work.
    I've never seen Bat outta Hell.
    Seen a few clips of her in concert.
    My question is this.
    The way she yells
    "Come on!" In such a high voice, almost like a child.
    She does that a bunch in her portrayal of Veronica.
    It's much different than any other Veronica and personally I like it altho I understand those whodon't.
    My question is.
    The chirping
    I guess you could call it that.
    Is that something specific to her Veronica?
    Or does she hit notes in that manner always?
    .

      Her portrayal and acting choices for Veronica are definitely unique.
      She really tried to make it her own.
      I wonder if she was concerned that she'd compared to Carrie and when 180 degrees in the opposite direction
      I honestly don't blame her
