After earning his stripes on Broadway, the ghost-with-the-most makes his Boston debut in the edgy and irreverent musical comedy, “Beetlejuice.”

As part of the Lexus 22/23 Broadway in Boston Season, the limited two-week engagement takes the stage at the Citizens Bank Opera House in May 2023. Based on Director Tim Burton’s 1989 Academy Award-winning smash hit comedy with Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder, “Beetlejuice” tells the story of Lydia Deetz, an unusual teenager whose life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a deranged demon named Beetlejuice. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice (it takes three times, for those in the know) to scare away anyone with a pulse, the double-crossing specter unleashes a (nether)world of pandemonium.
