Earlier this week I wrote a
blog about the Broadway bound production of Mrs. Doubtfire. I stated that even though I was a huge Robin Williams fan, I had never seen the movie. Now here we go again, and another movie that I have never seen featuring one of my favorite actor's, is headed to the stage.
Beetlejuice, which starred Academy Award nominee Michael Keaton, is set to begin previews at the Wintergarden Theatre in March, with opening scheduled for sometime in April. Prior to it's Broadway run, the show will play at the National Theatre in Washington D.C. from October 14 thru November 18.
With a score by Australian musician Eddie Perfect (
King Kong), a book by Anthony King and Scott Brown, and direction by Alex Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher), and choreography by Connor Gallagher, Bettlejuice is sure to be a highlight of the Broadway season. So I know what you must be thinking. Who is starring in the highly anticipated new musical?
Well I'll tell you. Playing the title role is Tony Award nominee Alex Brightman (
School of Rock), Sophia Anne Caruso (Lazarus) as Lydia, Tony nominees Kerry Butler (Mean Girls) and Rob McClure (Honeymoon In Vegas) as Barbara and Adam Maitland, and Leslie Kritzer (Legally Blond) and Adam Dennheisser (Rock of Ages) as Delia and Charles Deetz.
Sounds like a great cast to me. Tickets for the D.C. engagement are now on sale. Not only that, but we are selling it. No on sale date for the Broadway production has been announced. Stay tuned to this website for further updates. Get your tickets to see Beetlejuice at the National Theatre in Washington D.C. and on Broadway at the Wintergarden Theatre. Until next time theatre fans.

Well that's it theatre fans. Another Broadway season is in the books. Beetlejuice, which opened last night at the Wintergarden Theatre, was the final show to open as part of the 2018-2019 Broadway season. Now I loved the show. However having never seen the film, I wasn't sure what to expect. In fact I almost didn't go. Boy am I glad I did. But enough about what I think. What did the critic's have to say? Let's find out.
