I am so excited to share this cover of Heathers’ “Seventeen” originally performed by Barrett Wilbert Weed and Ryan McCartan. Heathers is one of my favorite musicals, which is based on the 1988 movie, who starred Winona Ryder as Veronica and Christian Slater as Jason Dean.

“Seventeen” is performed during Act 2, after J.D who is convinced that the murders that he and Veronica committed are for the greater good. J.D urges Veronica to target Heather Duke next because she is turning into a tyrant like Heather Chandler. Veronica refuses and as J.D complains about the injustices of the world, he reveals how he witnessed his mother’s suicide. At that moment Veronica gives him an ultimatum: to either give up violence and live a normal teenage life, or break up, and he will lose her forever. J.D and Veronica sing this beautiful ballad and agree to her ultimatum (or does he?) and they reconcile.

One of my favorite things about this song is the orchestration. Especially during the part “Don’t you want a life with me… I could be good with you.” I also really enjoy the lyrics, it allows you to reflect on life, and come to the realization that we are all damaged, but can still choose to live a “semi-normal” life.


If you haven’t watched the movie or the musical, I definitely encourage you guys to watch both! It is a movie that was ahead of its time. Though viewer discretion advised.
