It's our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
Packed with high-energy songs, outrageous humor, and heartfelt moments,
Beetlejuice JR. teaches important lessons about embracing the chaos of life, finding family in unexpected places, and learning to let go of the past. Perfectly tailored for middle and high school performers, this show offers exciting ensemble opportunities, bold characters, and a chance to bring spooky fun to the stage!
This production is a great opportunity for students to develop their acting, singing, and dancing skills while working together to create a show filled with imagination and creativity. A must-see for fans of the supernatural and anyone who loves a good laugh!
