Based on Tim Burton's film of the same name (1988), "Beetlejuice" tells the extraordinary story of a haunted newlywed couple trying to drive out a strange family member who has moved into their home in partnership with the eccentric ghost "Beetlejuice" trapped between the world and the underworld.
This season, Legend and New Face, who premiered, will be on stage at the same time. Jung Sung-hwa continued the force of the premiere and even Jung Won-young and Kim Jun-soo played the role of 'Beatlejuice', resulting in the three-person casting. The audience has a rare experience of meeting 'Beetlejuice' in three colors in one work.
In addition, in 'Lydia', Hong Na-hyun and Jang Min-je return to the center of the play, and the new ghost couple 'Barbara' and 'Adam' are Park Hye-mi, Na Hana, Lee Yul, and Jung Wook-jin work together. Real estate entrepreneur and Lydia's father 'Charles' was played by Kim Yong-soo and Kim Dae-ryeong, while Jeon Soo-mi and Yoon Gong-ju will take over the stage with positive energy.
'Beatlejuice' drew attention shortly after the opening of Broadway in 2019, when it was nominated for eight Tony Awards. In 2021, the world's first licensed performance was held in Korea, and it became a syndrome-class popularity and presented a fantastic stage reminiscent of an amusement park with addictive numbers, aerial flotation, fireworks production, and giant puffets.
The musical 'Beatlejuice' will open on Dec. 16 at LG Art Center Seoul LG SIGNATURE Hall.
