The Tony-nominated musical now haunts the Marquis Theatre starring Alex Brightman and Elizabeth Teeter.

Broadway's Beetlejuice, which originally played the Winter Garden Theatre, reopened April 8 at the Marquis Theatre. Reprising the role of the titular poltergeist is Tony nominee Alex Brightman, who stars opposite Elizabeth Teeter (The Crucible, The Audience), the show's new Lydia Deetz.

Returning with Brightman are Tony nominee Kerry Butler, David Josefsberg, Obie winner Adam Dannheisser, Lortel winner Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Kelvin Moon Loh, Danny Rutigliano, and Dana Steingold.

Based on Tim Burton’s cult favorite 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. 

New to the show along with Teeter are Michelle Aravena (A Bronx Tale, Rocky) as Miss Argentina and Zonya Love (The Color Purple) as Maxine Dean/Juno. The cast also includes Kate Bailey, Will Blum, Ryan Breslin, Natalie Charle Ellis, Brooke Engen, Eric Anthony Johnson, Andrew Kober, Elliott Mattox, Mateo Melendez, Ramone Owens, Commodore C. Primous III, Nevada Riley, and Graham Stevens.
