Adapted from the cult-favorite 1988 Tim Burton film by book writers Scott Brown (Castle Rock) and Anthony King (Broad City) and songwriter Eddie Perfect (King Kong), Beetlejuice first premiered on Broadway in 2019, with direction by Tony winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!) and choreography by Connor Gallagher. The show earned eight 2019 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical. The original run closed during the 2020 pandemic shutdown, but the show returned for a second go at the Marquis Theatre in 2022 before launching the national tour later the same year. The third Broadway engagement just completed its run at the Palace Theatre January 3. International bows have played Tokyo, Seoul, and Melbourne.
The tour will be directed by Catie Davis and choreographed by Michael Fatica. Music supervision, orchestrations, and incidental music are by Kris Kukul (Joan of Arc: Into the Fire).
