Q: What is Beetlejuice about?

Death is just the start of the fun at Beetlejuice, a musical adaptation of Tim Burton's film about the unlikely and frightfully fun alliance between a demon ghost, a death-obsessed teen, and a newly dead couple. The Broadway show keeps the movie's spooky vibe and adds lots more chills, thrills, and jaw-dropping stage antics that will make you die of laughter.

The musical adaptation of the cult classic film returns to Broadway for the third time, playing a limited engagement at the Palace Theater starting in October.
