Alex Timbers is the production’s director for the musical’s popular following.

If you know the film by Burton, it’s about a deceased couple who try to haunt a family for overtaking their home. They summon a bio-exorcist ghost named Betelgeuse (or we know as Beetlejuice). Lydia who believes in the supernatural and is strange and unusual, who is coping with her her mother’s death and her neglectful father. You know how the ending goes with everybody shaking their senora with Lydia and the football player ghosts by the staircase.

Conclusion

Meanwhile back here in the United States, it was previously announced for a national tour for Fall 2021. At the time of this publishing, no confirmation has been shared if that tour will happen or not. Also the Halloween season is approaching soon and if it doesn’t happen, as it would be a missed opportunity to deliver some spooky vibes.

For how popular the Burton adaptation as the musical definitely deserves a full on come back and hopefully the pandemic calms down for Spring 2022.
