About Beetlejuice The Musical

Beetlejuice The Musical opened on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre in April 2019, and despite initially facing the challenge of performing across the street from the juggernaut that was Hamilton, the show quickly developed a passionate and devoted fanbase — particularly among younger theatergoers who discovered the show through social media and its wildly popular cast recording. The musical received eight Tony Award nominations in its debut season, including Best New Musical, and its streaming numbers have been staggering: the original cast recording has surpassed 760 million streams globally, making it one of the most-listened-to Broadway cast albums of all time.

The show features music and lyrics by Australian composer Eddie Perfect, whose score blends rock, pop, and theatrical styles with a darkly comedic edge that perfectly matches the show's tone. The book by Scott Brown and Anthony King takes the bones of Tim Burton's 1988 film and reimagines it through Lydia Deetz's perspective, turning it into a coming-of-age story about grief, family, and finding your place in the world — even if that world includes ghosts. Direction by Alex Timbers, choreography by Connor Gallagher, and spectacular scenic design by David Korins create a visual experience that is equal parts haunted house, rock concert, and comedy show.

What sets Beetlejuice apart from other touring musicals is its energy. The show breaks the fourth wall constantly, features a lead character who directly addresses the audience, and moves at a breakneck pace through elaborate set pieces, costume changes, and special effects. The Sandworm sequence, the Day-O dinner party, and Beetlejuice's entrance are all moments that have become iconic in the modern Broadway canon. The touring production brings the full Broadway experience to each city, with the same level of spectacle, pyrotechnics, and comedic timing that made the New York production a must-see event.

ASU Gammage in Tempe is an ideal venue for this high-energy production. Frank Lloyd Wright's 3,000-seat auditorium provides excellent acoustics for Eddie Perfect's rock-infused score, and the deep stage can accommodate the show's elaborate scenic elements. Located at 1200 South Forest Avenue on the Arizona State University campus, the venue is easily accessible from Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the greater East Valley. The January 1-3, 2027 run includes both evening and matinee performances, kicking off the New Year with one of the most entertaining shows on tour.
