If you’re like me, you’re anxiously waiting to see if the sequel to Tim Burton’s classic ‘Beetlejuice’ will ever officially get off the ground.
In the meantime, there is a way to see your favorite “ghost with the most” while you await the next big screen production.
According to a report from Deadline, a musical adaptation of Beetlejuice will make its world premiere next October in a pre-Broadway run at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C.
The film is starting to assemble it’s team with two-time Tony nominee Alex Timbers currently set to direct the musical.
“Produced by Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures and Langley Park Productions, the musical will feature an original score by Eddie Perfect (King Kong) and a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King (Broad City). Connor Gallagher (The Robber Bridegroom) will choreograph, with scenic design by David Korins (Hamilton), costumes by William Ivey Long (The Producers), lighting design by Kenneth Posner (Kinky Boots), sound design by Peter Hylenski (Frozen), projection design by Peter Nigrini (Dear Evan Hansen), puppet design by Michael Curry (The Lion King), special effects by Jeremy Chernick (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), and “illusions” by Michael Weber (Forrest Gump).”
