Breaking: BEETLEJUICE Announces Closing Date; National Tour Will Launch in 2021

Broadway's smash hit musical Beetlejuice will play its final performance at the Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway) on Saturday, June 6, 2020. Final block of tickets now on sale for all performances through Saturday, June 6, 2020. Beetlejuice just broke the Winter Garden Theatre Box Office Record for 8 performances on the week ending December 1, 2019. Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures (Mark Kaufman) and Langley Park Productions (Kevin McCormick) are pleased to announce Beetlejuice will launch a National Tour in the fall of 2021. Cities and dates to be announced shortly.

According to the New York Times, the show's departure will make way for The 2020 revival of The Music Man, starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, to open at the Winter Garden in the fall.

BEETLEJUICE opened on Broadway on Thursday, April 25, 2019, and was nominated for eight Tony Awards including BEST NEW MUSICAL. Beetlejuice won the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for David Korins' scenic design, and Sophia Anne Caruso won the Theatre World Award for her performance as Lydia.

BEETLEJUICE is directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!), with an original score by Tony Award nominee Eddie Perfect (King Kong), a book by Tony Award nominee Scott Brown ("Castle Rock") & Emmy Award and Tony Award nominee Anthony King ("Broad City"), music supervision, orchestrations and incidental music by Kris Kukul (Joan of Arc: Into the Fire), and choreography by Connor Gallagher (The Robber Bridegroom).

It's showtime, folks! The ghost-with-the-most makes his Broadway debut in this edgy and irreverent musical comedy based on Tim Burton's dearly beloved film. Beetlejuice tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a demon with a thing for stripes. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter unleashes a (Nether)world of pandemonium, and the biggest sandworm Broadway has ever seen.

Ghostlight Records and WARNER RECORDS' release of Beetlejuice - ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING is available for digital download, streaming and on CD and Vinyl. The album is produced by Matt Stine, Alex Timbers, Eddie Perfect and Kurt Deutsch. Beetlejuice - ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING is the top streaming Broadway cast recording of the 2018-2019 season, after hitting 100 million streams last month. "Say My Name," one of the show's breakout showstoppers, was chosen as Amazon's "Alexa Song of the Day" in October. The incredible growth is a result of user-generated content on TikTok, where songs from the album have been used in over one million videos.

BEETLEJUICE is the surprise hit of the 2018/2019 season, steadily increasing sales in the spring, with sales taking off in the summer following the musical's Tony Awards performance which is the most viewed performance from CBS's youtube channel with over 2,496,157 views.
