'Beetlejuice' musical coming to North Charleston March 25-30

The musical "Beetlejuice" is set to take the stage at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center from March 25 to 30. It promises to bring a mix of humor and spookiness for both old fans and new audiences. Inspired by Tim Burton's classic 1988 film and its recent reboot, the musical follows Lydia Deetz, a teenager who encounters a ghostly couple and a mischievous demon named Beetlejuice. The role of Beetlejuice is played by Justin Collette, who expressed his excitement about the show, saying it feels like part of his DNA. Collette first discovered the musical during its debut in Washington, D.C., in October 2018. He found the script to be funny and fresh, which inspired him to join the production. With a background in comedy, he previously starred in “School of Rock” on Broadway. The live musical has gained popularity, especially after the recent sequel film, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," released in September 2024. It has also gone viral on social media, with TikTok videos featuring songs from the show. Collette noted that this online buzz has helped fill theaters across the country. The North Charleston venue will host six performances of "Beetlejuice." Collette encourages audiences to attend, promising an entertaining experience filled with laughter and emotional moments. Tickets can be purchased online for anyone interested in this quirky musical adventure.
