Beetlejuice. The Musical. The Musical. The Musical.

Saturday, May 2, 2026 7:00pm

Hancher Auditorium

It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, Beetlejuice is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety).

There’s trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian.

His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for...
