Why see Beetlejuice?
It's Showtime... again!
With Alex Brightman as Beetlejuice!
Tim Burton's Oscar-winning Beetlejuice is back on Broadway! After a hiatus, Anthony King, Scott Brown and Australian comedian Eddie Perfect's creation will be resurrected at the Marquis Theatre this spring. Sure to be a welcome return, don't miss all the spooky mischief as the wonderfully weird anti-hero returns.
Originally starring the likes of Alec Baldwin and Winona Ryder, this kooky classic is ready to ramp up the weird with the brand new production focussing more on death-obsessed teen Lydia Deetz. But have no fear (or do) stripe wearing Beetlejuice will still be there being the ghost with the most! Alex Timbers (of recent Moulin Rouge! The Musical fame) directs.
What is Beetlejuice about?
Lydia Deetz has an odd obsession, death, and an even odder talent, talking to ghosts. So when her family moves into a haunted mansion it's Lydia's time to shine. As the previous occupiers, Adam and Barbra (who are now dead) try to scare the new proprietors out of their beloved home, with no prevail, they call upon the mischievous and stripe loving Beetlejuice to their aid...

Fun Quirky Thrilling
This is a story about death. Yes, death. The opening sums it up quite well and sets the tone for this fantasy comedy horror based on Tim Burton's 1988 film with the same title.

Amazing
I have seen several plays on broadway and was really looking forward to this. Not only did it not disappoint but it went above and beyond. Not a single soul was safe from being offended and not a single person was not laughing. It was great to let lose and have fun. It ok to laugh at things!!!! The cast was amazing and we will be seeing it again! Great Job ... Read more

Amazing
This was my first broadway show and I loved it. The cast did a really great job and they sang well. The only bad thing was people actually brought their children to the show and I just did not think it was appropriate. Other than that this show was awesome. Thanks for making my first time a memorable one. ... Read more
