Say It Three Times: “Beetlejuice” Is Coming Back to Broadway After “The Music Man” Chased it Away

Share

Say it three times: “Beetlejuice” is coming back to Broadway.

The hit musical exited Broadway in March 2020 because of the pandemic. But it was going to close anyway because it was losing the Winter Garden Theater to “The Music Man.”

But “Beetlejuice” was a box office hit, and doing better than the other shows it opened with. Indeed, “Tootsie” stole its thunder and then wound up closing!

I loved “Beetlejuice,” I recommend it to everyone, and can’t wait to see it again. Alex Brightman and company are just super! I hope he’s coming back with the show.

Details to come…First performance April 8th at the Marriott Marquis Theater. See you there!
