Daily News | A ‘Beetlejuice’ with more Beetlejuice is in Philly with more than 100 tricks up its sleeve
Close your eyes and only say it twice — a third time may turn your home into a haunt —The musical, based on Tim Burton’s whimsical fantasy-horror film, follows a recently deceased couple who struggle as ghosts trapped inside their Connecticut home. Things turn eerie when Delia and Charles Deetz move in with remodeling plans, and their goth teenager Lydia is drawn to the deadcouple.

Some characters are more fleshed out, some environments are further explored, and some story elements are tweaked, but, as Weber said, it’s all in service of Burton’s vision and the magic of the original story.Look out for the house
He added that a lot of these effects will flash across different parts of stage, so if you blink, you might miss the action.While Michael Keaton’s turn as the stripe-loving character was a memorable one, his screen time was fairly limited. But Chernick said the Broadway version of Beetlejuice, played by actor, spends a lot more time with the audience. “We don’t just save him for 12 minutes,” Chernick said.
