Beetlejuice Jr. has been called the perfect show for all ages, groups and families and is an age-appropriate telling of the hilarious Broadway musical. It opens this weekend at Paul Revere Middle School Auditorium, 1450 Allenford Avenue.
The cast under the direction of Lara Ganz and Aaron Jung, includes 35 youth actors in sixth through eighth grades.
The story revolves around Barbara and Adam Maitland who die in a car accident. But they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house. When an unbearable couple the Deetzes and teen daughter Lydia buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success.
Their efforts attract Beetlejuice, a rambunctious spirit whose help quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia.
This crazy play is full of singing and dancing and is woven together to tell a heartwarming story about family, friendship, and embracing who you are.
Ganz said, “Thank you for supporting youth theater and investing in the next generation of storytellers, problem solvers, and leaders. See you at the show!”
