One Story Music and Prescott Valley Performing Arts To Present BEETLEJUICE JR.
Directed and choreographed by Jennifer Gail, with musical direction by David Castagner, Beetlejuice Jr. will feature a large and talented cast of Quad City youth.
One Story Music and Prescott Valley Performing Arts will team up to present Beetlejuice Jr., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon.
Directed and choreographed by Jennifer Gail, with musical direction by David Castagner, Beetlejuice JR. will feature a large and talented cast of Quad City youth, this production showcases the incredible creativity and energy of local performers bringing the story to life.
This zany tale follows Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” When Lydia and her father move into a house haunted by a recently deceased couple and the delightfully mischievous demon Beetlejuice, chaos ensues. Lydia enlists Beetlejuice to scare away the living, but the double-crossing specter has his own plans, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award nominated duo Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards, including Best New Musical. The show has gained a viral following, capturing the hearts of young theater lovers with its bold humor and emotional honesty.
Under Jennifer Gail's creative vision and David Castagner's musical expertise, Beetlejuice JR. is a theatrical event for audiences of all ages. The production is sure to leave audiences laughing, gasping, and cheering in equal measure!
