Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice returns to Washington, D.C., by popular demand with this Broadway musical comedy based on Tim Burton's beloved 1988 film. The show tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a mischievous, striped demon named Beetlejuice. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that ventures into the Netherworld, the production is described as both screamingly funny and a remarkably touching story about family, love, and making the most of every day.
