OBSERVER: Beetlejuice The Musical


The Michael Cassel Group and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures present Beetlejuice the Musical, now playing in Melbourne at the Regent Theatre for a limited Australian premiere season.
Based on Tim Burton’s horror comedy movie, Beetlejuice the Musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz (Karis Oka), a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes.
After earning a Tony Award nomination for the music and lyrics he wrote for Beetlejuice the Musical, Eddie Perfect stars in the title role as the most mischievous corpse in the history of musicals.
Under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact) Beetlejuice the Musical is not only described as “funny, irreverent, reckless and repellent’, but also as being a touching show about family, love, and ‘making the most of every Day-O!”
Performance Details: Playing for a limited season.
Venue: Regent Theatre, 191 Collins St., Melbourne
Bookings: Ticketek or beetlejuicethe
