Gaslight Theater Teen Program is getting set to present its latest production “Beetlejuice Jr.”
The show will be presented on the weekends of Oct. 16-18 and Oct. 23-24 with showtimes at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and a 2 p.m. matinee showing on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Advance tickets will be $20 for adults, $17 for active military and $10 for students. A two dollar charge will be added for any tickets bought at the door.
The description for the show reads as follows:
It’s our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral “sucks-yes” on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.
Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!
