Description for Jessica keenan wynn alice lee and elle mclemore candy store

In this song, Heather Chandler lays down the law and offers her protegée Veronica a choice:  be cruel and powerful like the Heathers or go back to your loser friends and be nobody. The song starts when Veronica realizes Chandler has tricked her into forging a cruel love letter to Martha, posing as Martha’s lifelong crush, Ram. “Candy Store” has a unique triplet or 6/8 beat, unlike the rest of the  Heathers score. That heavy, stomping 6/8 beat has been found in songs ranging from Broadway stripper music ( Gypsy’s  “Gotta Get A Gimmick”) to modern pop ( Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” and  Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus”). The song premiered at the  Heathers concert at Joe’s Pub in 2010. Veronica was played by Annaleigh Ashford and Chandler by Jenna Leigh Green. For the Off-Broadway opening, Veronica was played by Barrett Wilbert Weed, Chandler by Jessica Keenan Wynn, Heather McNamara by Elle McLemore and Heather Duke by Alice Lee.
