Beetlejuice The Musical
New York opened on April 25, 2019 in New York City at the Winter Garden Theatre. The book was written by Anthony King and Scott Brown. The show is based on the movie version, a Geffen Company picture directed by Tim Burton. It has garnered several award nominations, including eight Tony Awards, among others. Fans of the movie will not be disappointed as the musical version focuses more closely on Lydia Deetz. This is a comedy that showcases the ghost with the most. It still tells the story of Adam and Barbara who, at first, do not realize they are dead. Once they do, they begin to try to scare away Lydia as well as her family, the new owners of the home. Plus, Beetlejuice is still Beetlejuice.
The movie version of
Beetlejuice
borders between a pop culture and cult favorite. When Halloween season rolls around, TV channels complete the spooky ambiance with showings of the film. As a musical version, it has had success reaching audiences, too. Its 2019 Tony nominations were for best sound, lighting and scenic design as well as best book of a musical, best original score, best costume design, best musical and best performance by an actor. Tim Burton directed the movie version, so the creative crew had a lot of material to draw from when they created the show. The creative team gave it a musical revamp that was well-received by audiences and critics.

Where the movie version focused on Adam and Barbara, the musical focuses more on Lydia Deetz, the teen daughter of the new inhabitants of the house that is haunted by its dead, former owners.
