Broadway hit Beetlejuice The Musical debuts in Singapore in January 2026
SINGAPORE – Eight-time Tony Award-nominated Beetlejuice The Musical will arrive in Singapore in January 2026.
Based on Tim Burton's Oscar-winning 1988 film Beetlejuice, the musical follows Lydia Deetz, a goth teenager who summons a demon to scare away her insufferable parents.
It stars Andy Karl as the demon Beetlejuice. He has been nominated at the Tony Awards three times: for Best Actor in a Musical for Rocky (2014) and Groundhog Day (2017), and Best Featured Actor in a Musical for On The Twentieth Century (2015).
The production includes the original Broadway set design and costume designs, and special effects that transform the stage into a hilarious and horrifying netherworld.
Beetlejuice The Musical will play at the Esplanade Theatre from Jan 15. Tickets go on sale from July 3, with pre-sale access available. Pricing details have not been announced.
The production is from Michael Cassel Group and Warner Bros Theatre Venues, which also brought to Singapore the musicals Hamilton and The Lion King.
Karl said in a statement: 'Beetlejuice is not your typical leading man – unless your typical leading man is a hilarious fast-talking demon with an attitude and worse fashion sense. He's wildly inappropriate, totally unhinged, and yet somehow... weirdly lovable?'
After the film became a hit, a spin-off animated television series (1989 to 1991) – also developed by Burton – introduced new characters and settings.
Beetlejuice was subsequently adapted for the stage in 2018, premiering at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., before heading for Broadway in 2019.

Beetlejuice The Musical coming to Singapore January 2026, tickets available from July
Get ready to meet the ghost with the most as the critically-acclaimed Beetlejuice The Musical debuts in Singapore in January 2026 at the Esplanade Theatre. Based on the iconic Tim Burton movie starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, the musical will feature three-time Tony nominee Andy Karl as Beetlejuice. The audience can expect to marvel at hauntingly beautiful costumes as well as special effects that transform the stage into the netherworld. The musical will be staged by Michael Cassel Group, which previously brought productions of Hamilton and The Lion King to Singapore. In a statement, CEO Michael Cassel said: 'We've had the privilege of producing some of the biggest titles in musical theatre, and Beetlejuice The Musical is undoubtedly one of the most original, exhilarating productions of the last decade. "It's wickedly funny, visually spectacular, and with Andy Karl donning the iconic suit, it's going to be an unmissable performance for Singapore audiences.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Esplanade Singapore (@esplanadesingapore) Tickets for Beetlejuice The Musical will go on sale to the general public from Jul 3. However, those who want first dibs can either sign up for the waitlist on Ticketek Singapore's website or join the presale session offered by Esplanade. The waitlist for the former closes on Jun 28 while Esplanade's presale will kick off on Jun 30. The original Beetlejuice movie centred around a husband and wife, played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis, who die and end up haunting their mansion. In an attempt to scare away the new living residents of their home, the couple sought the help of bio-exorcist Beetlejuice (played by Michael Keaton), whose antics quickly spiralled out of control. The couple then teamed up with the new homeowners' daughter (played by Winona Ryder) to stop Beetlejuice.
