The upcoming return engagement of Beetlejuice is just around the corner! The fan-favorite show is set to reopen on April 8 at the Marquis Theatre.

Gearing up for a casting announcement, the show's social accounts have shared a Oujia board planchette ominously hovering over the letters C-A-S-T L-I-S-T, along with when fans can expect to hear the exciting news.

Can you decipher this message from the other side? watch!

It's showtime, folks! The ghost-with-the-most makes his Broadway return 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.
