WHO: Beetlejuice Cast and Crew and YOU
WHEN: Thursday-Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm
WHERE: Vallo Theater
WHAT: THE MUSICAL. THE MUSICAL. THE MUSICAL
Based on the film of the same name, Beetlejuice tells the story of the demon bio-exorcist wanting desperately to be seen by the living again. When Barbara and Adam Maitland (who desire a family but aren't quite emotionally ready and instead channel all their parent energies into antiques and pottery) suffer a bad fall in their home and meet an untimely death, Beetlejuice sees this as his opportunity to get what he wants. If these recently deceased can get a living human to say his name three times, he will be set free. His plan is quickly thrown off course when one of the new house residents is a quick-witted and sharp-tongued girl named Lydia (who can also see ghosts). She tests Beetlejuice in a way he never imagined and also befriends Adam and Barbara.
When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse (and to get back at her father, whom she feels has moved on too quickly after her mother's death), the double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of complete pandemonium. The show reaches its climax with a surprise wedding, memorable tunes, a crazy plot twist, awesome puppets, and lots of dirty jokes. By the end of the musical, all is well and everyone's found freedom and happiness - we end with a group number, “Jump in the Line," and all the characters vowing to make the most out of every Day-O.
