History
Heathers the Musical adapts the 1989 cult film and reached New York after a successful West End run; Off‑Broadway venues often stage compact, technically ambitious productions that differ from Broadway’s scale.
Conservation
Broadway theaters encourage public transit and many have upgraded to LED and energy-efficient lighting; reduce waste by foregoing single-use plastics at concessions.
