Beetlejuice to return to Broadway for third time

Broadway will be saying its name three times.

Beetlejuice the Musical is Broadway-bound for a third run, beginning this autumn.

When the show last closed in New York, it had played 27 previews and 366 regular performances at the Winter Garden Theatre and 313 regular performances during its resurrection at the Marquis, for a total of 679 Broadway performances.

Based on Tim Burton’s macabre 1988 film, Beetlejuice is about a young woman who summons a mischievous ghost after meeting the recently deceased couple who previously inhabited her big, creepy house. Beetlejuice earned several Tony nominations, including Best Musical.

The first national tour of the musical will play at the Palace Theatre from 8 October 2025 – just in time for Halloween! – for 13 weeks through to 3 January 2026. Casting is to be revealed.

Beetlejuice is directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers, with an original score by Tony Award nominee Eddie Perfect, a book by Tony Award nominee Scott Brown and Tony nominee Anthony King, music supervision, orchestrations, and incidental music by Kris Kukul, and choreography by Connor Gallagher.

Beetlejuice features scenic design by three-time Tony Award nominee David Korins, costume design by six-time Tony Award winner William Ivey Long, lighting design by Tony Award winner Kenneth Posner, sound design by Tony Award winner Peter Hylenski, projection design by Tony Award nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Peter Nigrini, puppet design by Drama Desk Award winner Michael Curry, special effects design by Jeremy Chernick, illusions by Michael Weber, hair and wig design by Drama Desk Award nominee Charles G LaPointe, make-up design by Joe Dulude II, and physical movement coordinator Lorenzo Pisoni.

An eagerly longed-for West End transfer has not yet materialised. We live in hope.
