Times may be hard, but there is still joy to be found, even after a long week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of emotional release. Welcome to Playbill's Feel Good Friday feature.
If you're one of the many Beetlejuice fans still mourning the show's closure, look no further than Universal Studios Hollywood, where you can hunt down Beetlejuice himself—and if you're extra lucky, you might be able to get an impromptu singalong, like the fan in the TikTok below.

Alicia approached the Beetlejuice character actor in the park, taunting him by almost saying his name three times—just as Lydia does. Right before finishing his name on the third go, she launches into the Broadway musical's duet between Beetlejuice and Lydia: "Say My Name." And of course, because he's Beetlejuice—he knew the words and sang it right back to her!
Looks like it's shaping up to be quite a year for musical theatre experiences in amusement parks (looking at you, German Phantom rollercoaster!). If you happen to encounter Beetlejuice in the wild, or hear about a new Carousel-themed Carousel...you better tell us all about it.
Have a great weekend! And check back next Friday for another feel good feature.
