Based on Tim Burton’s 1988 film of the same name, our story follows the Maitlands, a recently deceased couple bound to a seeming state of purgatory. Together, they enlist the services of the sprightly spirit Beetlejuice in increasingly chaotic attempts to reclaim their old abode from its new residents. With ghastly antics abound, enter Lydia Deetz, a girl caught in between the death of her mother and the neglect of her father. What devilish mischief would be unleashed when these four strange souls cross each other’s paths? It’s a twisted tale of hysterical horrors and self-discovery. Stifle your screams, but keep your eyes open! Find out what powers lay inside the heart (even those that have long stopped beating).

This gothic sensation began development in 2016, releasing its first ever production in 2018 at Washington, D.C.. It then premiered on Broadway in 2019 and is now embarked on its US national tour with projected stops in June 2024.

At the helm of this horrifically hilarious production is Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning director, Alex Timbers. Together with an original score by Eddie Perfect, book by Scott Brown and Anthony King, and choreography by Connor Gallagher, Beetlejuice – The Musical will send you on a supernatural saga overflowing with charm, wit, and most of all, undying heart.
