San Gabriel High School’s drama students are gearing up to bring the spooky and hilarious world of Beetlejuice JR to life. Performances will run from April 11 through April 18.
Based on the hit film-turned-Broadway-musical, Beetlejuice JR follows Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager struggling with the loss of her mother and fascinated by the afterlife. Chaos ensues when her family moves into a new home haunted by a recently deceased couple and the mischievous demon Beetlejuice. Lydia attempts to summon Beetlejuice, which leads to unpredictable and wildly entertaining results – blending humor, heart, and high-energy musical numbers.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by the Tony Award-nominated team of Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was a Broadway sensation, earning eight Tony Award nominations in 2019, including Best New Musical.
