The musical adaptation of Beetlejuice will make its world premiere at Washington, D.C.’s National Theatre this fall. The Broadway-aimed production will begin performances In October (exact dates to be announced). A casting call has gone out seeking equity singers and dancers to play ensemble in the upcoming production. Beetlejuice, a malevolent spirit masquerading as a guide to the Netherworld meets the Maitlands, a recently deceased couple learning the ropes of haunting their own home. But when angst-ridden Lydia Deetz moves into the Maitland house with her family, Beetlejuice launches a havoc-wrecking quest that forces the Maitlands to confront what it means to be fully dead and Lydia to confront what it means to be fully alive.
