Mickey-Jo recently returned to HEATHERS THE MUSICAL, which is back in London once more at its new home - The Arts at Marble Arch. Having seen the show several times since it first arrived in the UK, Mickey-Jo was surprised by his reaction to the largely identical production and the feeling that the show was no longer one which he could enjoy.
