53% Informative

Beetlejuice the Musical is a slight deviation from Tim Burton’s 1988 film, with adjustments made so that the creators could pull out themes of family and alienation.

Justin Collette does a fine job of filling Michael Keaton's shoes as the ungovernable spirit.

Multiple musical genres bleed into each other; show tunes, rock, jazz, reggae, and calypso.

The set design and lighting work in the show is phenomenal.
