In other stage-related news, the cast of the off-Broadway hit Heathers: The Musical, based on the '80s cult flick, is recording an album to hit stores 6/17. The show opened on the film's 25th anniversary 3/31. With classic lines like, "fuck me gently with a chainsaw," the musical is definitely garnering some buzz. What says summertime fun more than songs about teen angst, murder and suicide, including the bluntly titled track, "My Dead Gay Son?" (4/14p)
