BEETLEJUICE The Musical Will Haunt Brazil in 2022
The musical will also play South Korea later this summer, with performances of the replica production set for June.
BroadwayWorld has learned that Touché Entretenimento will bring BEETLEJUICE the musical to Brazil; executive director of the company Renata Borges Pimenta made the announcement via Instagram. The Brazilian production will be non-replica and is licensed by Music Theatre International.
The production has reportedly cast the title character - and auditions will be held for the rest of the company. Casting will be announced at a later date.
The company's upcoming season is also scheduled to tentatively include 42nd Street, Carousel, American Idiot, Spongebob Square Pants: The Musical, and Footloose.

The original Broadway cast recording of Beetlejuice has been featured on Amazon's Song of the Day, and with over 100M streams in its first five month is the #1 top streaming Broadway cast album of the 2018/2019 Broadway season.
