Following its 2014 Off-Broadway run, the musical gained cult status from audiences that mirrored the characters at the fictional Westerberg High, and multiple high schools were putting in requests for the licensing rights; accordingly, an abridged " PG-13" version was prepared, newly revised by writers Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy, iTheatrics, and licensing company Samuel French specifically for student productions. [57] Most of the profanity in the show was deleted, "Big Fun", "Dead Girl Walking", and the majority of the songs received rewritten lyrics and one new song, "You're Welcome" was written for the show to replace "Blue". The original playwrights—O'Keefe and Murphy—have since publicly stated that they prefer "You're Welcome" to "Blue", and the change was officially made for the London production of Heathers in June 2018.
