Wow — that 'Heathers' episode of 'Riverdale' really leaned into the musical vibe and gave fans a whole bunch of numbers lifted straight from 'Heathers: The Musical'. I got chills during several moments because the show didn't just sprinkle one song in; it leaned on the main, iconic tracks and used them to underline each character's drama. If you want the short playlist from that episode, the core songs featured are things you’d recognize from the stage show: 'Beautiful', 'Candy Store', 'Freeze Your Brain', 'Dead Girl Walking', 'Seventeen', 'Shine a Light', and 'I Am Damaged'. There are also smaller reprises and transitions built from the musical’s motifs, so a couple of scenes feel like medleys rather than standalone tracks.

Beyond the straight-up covers, the episode toys with tone — some songs get full, theatrical treatments while others are trimmed and staged cinematically for TV. The cast’s versions are available officially on streaming services under the show's soundtrack releases, and fans have uploaded clips and covers across social platforms. If you’re digging into the episode for nostalgia or to compare the show versions with the original cast album of 'Heathers: The Musical', it’s fun to track how the arrangements were adapted for the teen soap setting. I still find myself humming 'Candy Store' afterwards — it’s that catchy.

That 'Heathers' themed episode of 'Riverdale' pulls several of the musical’s most recognizable songs into its soundtrack, and it’s a neat crossover of teen drama and stage camp. The main numbers they drew from 'Heathers: The Musical' include 'Beautiful', 'Candy Store', 'Freeze Your Brain', 'Dead Girl Walking', 'Seventeen', and 'Shine a Light', with a few shorter reprises and scene-specific edits sprinkled in. Listening to the episode’s music back-to-back with the original cast recordings highlights interesting differences — the TV mixes often compress verses or shift arrangements to fit scene length, and the vocals are tuned to showcase the actors’ characters more than pure theatrical technique. If you want to hear them outside the episode, the tracks are part of the show's released music set on streaming platforms, and many fans have uploaded side-by-side comparisons online. For me, the blend of glossy teen soap visuals with those razor-sharp musical numbers made the whole sequence oddly addictive and very rewatchable.

I can still picture the sequence where the camera pans across the high school and the music swells — that’s where most of the 'Heathers' numbers made the biggest impact. The episode borrows several full songs from 'Heathers: The Musical' and uses them to move the plot: the standout tracks used are 'Beautiful', 'Candy Store', 'Freeze Your Brain', 'Dead Girl Walking', 'Seventeen', and 'Shine a Light'. The TV versions are slightly rearranged and sometimes edited for time, so a couple of tracks feel like condensed versions or scene-bridging reprises rather than the full musical theatre cuts.

If you’re hunting for the soundtrack, the cast performances were released through the series’ official music outlets and you can usually find them on Spotify, Apple Music, and digital storefronts under the show’s musical releases. Fans have also compiled playlists that mix the original 'Heathers' cast recordings with the 'Riverdale' renditions so you can compare bridges, keys, and vocal stylings. Personally, I love how the episode introduced a new audience to those sharp, darkly funny songs — they translate surprisingly well to the dramatic beats of the series, and I keep replaying 'Dead Girl Walking' because it captures that brazen energy perfectly.
