"The musical is based on the tremendous Tim Burton movie of the same name from 1988, which starred Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O'Hara and, of course, Michael Keaton in the title role. The story centers on Lydia Deetz, a troubled teenager whose life is changed forever when she moves into a house that is also inhabited by a recently deceased couple."

"Then a demon by the name of Beetlejuice shows up and things really get nutty. Toss in some disturbingly memorable and delightfully over-the-top Broadway songs including Creepy Old Guy, Say My Name, Dead Mom, Girl Scout, The Whole Being Dead' Thing and, most famously, Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) and what you get is a really fun night of theater."
