Beetlejuice Jr. is a 60-minute musical adaptation of the movie Beetlejuice, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
Beetlejuice Jr. is a musical that brings the ghost-with-the-most to life, telling the story of Lydia Deetz, a teenager still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with death. Her father moves her to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a demon with a zest for life.
Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, leading to a series of chaotic events as Beetlejuice shows his true colors. This musical is a blend of comedy and dark humor, offering a unique perspective on the theme of death and the afterlife.
