Beetlejuice - 2019 Broadway History , Info & More


Winter Garden Theatre (Broadway)
1634 Broadway New York, NY 10019

Everybody's favorite ghost-with-the-most has finally made it to Broadway. Beetlejuice appears on stage in this hilarious new musical that subverts all of Broadway's conventions. Based on Tim Burton's classic, other-worldly film, this hilarious new musical is an absolute killer.

Beetlejuice tells the story of a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life is upended when she meets a recently deceased couple in her father's new house. Then, when a dastardly demon with a thing for stripes wants to use her for his own nefarious purposes, she has to figure out what is truly important. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that will have you tapping your toes long after you’ve shuffled off this mortal coil, Beetlejuice is musical unlike anything you will see in this world (or the next).

And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Beetlejuice

'Beetlejuice' review: Broadway musical yet another charmless adaptation of a popular movie
5 / 10

The cast is solid, including a pepped-up and gravely-voiced Brightman, assertive Caruso and delightfully dorky McClure and Butler. By not taking it seriously, 'Beetlejuice' may very well offer a reasonably fun time at the theater. But don't we expect better than that?

‘Beetlejuice’ Broadway Review: It’s Showtime, Ready Or Not
6 / 10

Maybe if they'd said it a fourth time. Three times - 'Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!' - summons to life the stripe-coated, fright-wigged demon that made a superstar of Michael Keaton way back when. Could a fourth have magically conjured that extra something needed to transform Broadway's Beetlejuice into something beyond the realm of good enough?
