Beetlejuice The Musical to Make Its MENA Debut in Abu Dhabi
May 01, 2025
Broadway's hilariously twisted hit, 'Beetlejuice The Musical', is heading to Abu Dhabi for the first time, making its MENA debut at Etihad Arena, Yas Island, from November 20th to 30th, 2025.
Brought to the UAE by Proactiv Entertainment in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi and Miral, the show adds to the capital's growing reputation as a regional hub for world-class theatre, following acclaimed productions like 'The Lion King' and 'Hamilton'.
Based on Tim Burton's cult classic film, the musical follows Lydia Deetz, a teenager obsessed with the afterlife, and her chaotic encounter with a mischievous poltergeist in stripes. With a mix of outrageous humour, big musical numbers, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments, the show has been praised as "screamingly good fun".
Registration is now open at etihadarena.ae and platinumlist.net for those looking to join the official waitlist and access pre-sale tickets ahead of the general sale on May 8th. Early bird prices start at AED 99.
