I spit out my coffee when I read that King Kong shade lmao

Really hoping that the changes will make the show more viable. I heard terrible things about the out of town run. I love Alex Timbers, so hopefully he's righting the ship.

I wonder how well that will work, given that the film AND the musical lean hard into Beetlejuice being a boorish sexual-harassment demon. I hope they haven't lost the original eleven o'clock number mock-praising dirty old men who chase teenage girls, as it was the only time in the show that the satirical beats REALLY landed in the version I saw. Very "Book of Mormon" for that one scene only.

Creepy Old Guy? I agree, I hope they don't cut it.

There's definitely a great show in here somewhere, I laughed a ton so I hope they made it a bit more coherent. I wish they let Caruso keep her blonde hair for Broadway.
