Iconic musical Mamma Mia! is coming to Abu Dhabi in June What is BEETLEJUICE The Musical about?
BEETLEJUICE The Musical is based on Tim Burton's dearly beloved film, BEETLEJUICE, and tells the story of Lydia Deetz. Lydia is a strange and unusual teenager dealing with grief from the loss of her mother and a neglectful father.
The house that they have recently moved into is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon with a thing for stripes. But thankfully, Lydia has a thing for 'all-things-dead,' and she calls on the ghosts to help scare away her father and stepmother.
Beetlejuice comes up with the perfect plan, which involves exorcism, an adorable girl scout who gets scared out of her wits, and a whole (nether)world of pandemonium. Can you imagine the chaos that ensues?
We can't wait to watch this! In the mean time, join us as we say… Beetlejuice… Beetlejuice… Beetlejuice…
