Beetlejuice on Broadway Tickets

It’s showtime! After closing prematurely at the Winter Garden Theatre due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Beetlejuice musical has been resurrected once more at the Marriott Marquis Theatre in 2022. Get Beetlejuice tickets now.

Based on the cult classic 1988 film by Tim Burton, Beetlejuice has finally been unearthed for the Broadway stage. The Beetlejuice musical features a book by Scott Brown and Emmy Award nominee Anthony King, and an original score by Australian singer-songwriter Eddie Perfect. The show even throws in a couple of signature tunes from the original movie for good measure: “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” and “Jump in the Line (Shake, Señora),” both made famous by Jamaican American icon Harry Belafonte.

Under the direction of two-time Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers, Beetlejuice promises more ghoulish fun and frights than you could possibly imagine (and the biggest sandworm Broadway has ever seen). The scenic design by David Korins is a stunningly macabre tribute to Burton himself, and the production overflows with special effects by Jeremy Chernick and illusions by Michael Weber that are as jaw-dropping as they are heart-stopping.

In the Beetlejuice Broadway production, Tony nominee Alex Brightman brings the ghost with the most “to life” eight times a week, stepping into the shoes (and black-and-white-striped suit) of Michael Keaton, who created Beetlejuice on the silver screen alongside co-stars Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, and Catherine O’Hara. The 1988 movie established Tim Burton as the Master of Macabre and the leader of the gothic fantasy genre. The Beetlejuice Broadway musical stays loyal to the source material’s tone and is a gift for Burton fans across the world, with multiple homages to his films.

Beetlejuice is produced by Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures and Langley Park Productions, whose previous Broadway credits include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Misery, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and Elf, among others. The world premiere pre-Broadway engagement of Beetlejuice was staged at the National Theatre in Washington D.C. from October 14 to November 18, 2018. The first performances of Beetlejuice in New York began in March 2019, and the show got eight Tony nominations, including Best Musical.
