Broadway hit Beetlejuice The Musical debuts in Singapore in January 2026
Eight-time Tony Award-nominated Beetlejuice The Musical will arrive in Singapore in January. Based on American film-maker Tim Burton's Oscar-winning 1988 film Beetlejuice, the musical follows Lydia Deetz, a gothic teenager who summons a demon to scare away her insufferable parents. It stars Andy Karl as the demon Beetlejuice. He has been nominated at the Tony Awards three times: for Best Actor in a Musical for Rocky (2014) and Groundhog Day (2017), and Best Featured Actor in a Musical for On The Twentieth Century (2015). The production includes the original Broadway set design and costume designs, and special effects that transform the stage into a hilarious and horrifying netherworld. Beetlejuice The Musical will play at the Esplanade Theatre from Jan 15. Tickets go on sale from July 3, with pre-sale access available. Pricing details have not been announced. The production is from Michael Cassel Group and Warner Bros Theatre Venues, which also brought to Singapore the musicals Hamilton and The Lion King. Karl said in a statement: "Beetlejuice is not your typical leading man - unless your typical leading man is a hilarious, fast-talking demon with an attitude and worse fashion sense. He's wildly inappropriate, totally unhinged and, yet, somehow... weirdly lovable?" After the film became a hit, a spin-off animated television series (1989 to 1991) - also developed by Burton - introduced new characters and settings. Beetlejuice was subsequently adapted for the stage in 2018, premiering at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., before heading to Broadway in 2019.

‘Beetlejuice' Returning to Broadway for Third Run
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is returning to Broadway for the third time. The first national tour of Beetlejuice The Musical will play at The Palace Theatre from Oct. 8 for a 13-week engagement through Jan. 3, 2026. The third return to Broadway is unusual (and in keeping with the plot of the show) as the musical's two previous Broadway engagements were in the last five years and the production has had a bumpy trajectory. More from The Hollywood Reporter Tonys: Sarah Paulson on the Truth-Teller Behind the Pulitzer-Winning Play 'Purpose' Mia Farrow on Her First Tony Nomination, Returning to Broadway in 'The Roommate' Audra McDonald Says She Didn't Know About "Rift" Between Her and Patti LuPone The musical originally ran at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre from April 2019, and initially saw low ticket sales until its fortunes turned around, thanks in part to traction on social media and a successful Tonys performance. Despite the reversal in the production's grosses, theater owners announced plans to force the show out of the theater by June 2020, to make room for The Music Man starring Hugh Jackman. Those plans were delayed by the pandemic, but Beetlejuice did vacate and plan its return to Broadway, based on the momentum of the show and the popularity of the cast recording, said producers. Beetlejuice returned to Broadway, at the Marquis Theatre, where it ran from April 2022 through January 2023 and saw a return of most of its Broadway cast, including Alex Brightman, playing the title character. However, the musical struggled to recapture the same momentum from before the pandemic and ended its run early. Now it returns after the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to the 1988 film, this fall, which had the second best September launch of all time. Warner Bros. is the producer of the film and its theatrical arm is a producer of the Broadway show. Casting for the Broadway engagement has not yet been announced. The first national tour of the musical launched in December 2022, and will end its run on Broadway. There have also been productions of the show in Tokyo, Seoul, and Melbourne, and an upcoming production in Sydney. Based on the Tim Burton film, Beetlejuice is directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!), with an original score by Eddie Perfect (King Kong), a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King, with choreography by Connor Gallagher. The show's run is also part of a returning industry trend in which national tours make stops on Broadway, including The Wiz, which ran at the Marquis Theatre from April to August 2024, before theaters. Beetlejuice takes over the Palace Theatre, which is currently home to Glengarry Glen Ross, starring Kieran Culkin, Bill Burr and Bob Odenkirk, which is scheduled to end its run there on June 28.
