Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice at National Theater

Why see Beetlejuice?

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! 

Get ready to experience the afterlife like never before as Beetlejuice invites you to step into a world where the supernatural meets the hilarious. Based on Tim Burton's iconic film, Beetlejuice brings his chaos and madness to stage where you'll witness larger-than-life sandworms, ghostly apparitions and jaw-dropping transformations. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the original film, or a newcomer to the Beetlejuice universe, prepare for a theatrical journey that's bound to leave you screaming... with laughter!

It was only a matter of time until the creepy camp cult hit film was turned into theatrical musical magic. The smash hit Tim Burton feature film was released in 1988, and featured a smorgasbord of acting talents including a young Winona Ryder, Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin and Micheal Keaton. Universally praised for its anarchic off-the-wall humour, tuneful music, wicked lyrics and a carnivalesque set design, Beetlejuice provides a feast for the eyes, ears and inner angsty gothic teenager. 

What is Beetlejuice About? 

Lydia Deetz is not your average All American teenage girl. Marching firmly to the beat of her own drum, the strange and unusual heroine enjoys writing poetry, photography and anything to do with the paranormal and supernatural. Misunderstood by her father and stepmother, her isolated life is turned upside down when she moves into a new home haunted by a recently deceased couple called Barbara and Adam Maitland, and the rambunctious demon Beetlejuice. With the help of the Maitlands, Lydia sets out to foil the outrageous Beetlejuice's nefarious plans to come back to life and comes of age in the process.

BEETLEJUICE HAS ALL THE RIGHT STUFF

This show's first act was incredible. It was funny, visually pleasing, and the songs were top notch. The show definitely has everything you would look for in a musical from everyone's favorite crude demon. If you enjoy the movie then you should enjoy this show and the small twists that the writers have put on the story to turn this into a full length production. The second act is equally as visually stunning, however suffers from being overly long. I really believe that with just a little tweaking that this show would be five stars. The actors and actresses all have incredible voices and stage presence and really make up for whatever this show lacks in plot. ... Read more
