The Hectic History of Beetlejuice the Musical 

You were wrong about the show not finding another theater :0

I'm just excited and want to spread the news. XD

lmao

@@fortnite_pokemon1342 he said they would…

They made it to the Marquis after all

Yeah, just compare the price of Hamilton tickets between broadway and the west end and it’s obvious that the west end is more accessible. The cheapest Hamilton Broadway tickets are like $300 whereas the cheapest West End ones are like £30

I mean heathers is kinda bad

Prewprew To quote The Dude, “Thats like, your opinion, man”

@@prewprew3959 that is your opinion, the musical got good reviews off broadway and it has a massive fanbase.

Tedious Totoro i saw hamilton on the west end back in 2018 and I ended up next to a pair of friends who flew from australia to see it as the west end is more affordable, meaning that they could watch more shows

Lol, loved the crossover

Screw Music man. It's an old player out musical I will never watch again. It represents everything that is wrong with the old white way or whatever they call it.

WaterlemonTheArtist the noise I made when I read this...

@@MarcelinoSoliz same and i love beetlejuice soooo much but i mean... sutton foster is my idol i'd go for her.

We should start the #whyjackmanwhy trend lol

This is like... one of the only comedy musicals I enjoy the entirety of and I absolutely adore it. It has everything I love, spooky atmosphere, found family, positive adult figures, an edgy teen, all the good shit!

@@lightninglady i agree! its just so interesting! i get a good laugh anytime i listen/watch it. i'm still bummed out that i'm never going to see it, in my *LIFE.* I was also so sad when i learned it was going off-Broadway! it was such a great musical... getting throne into the trash....

Fr

I Like Life same... I got into it literally yesterday, and then I find out it ended like 2 months ago. I always join fandoms late :(

I Like Life I mean, heathers was off broadway, so, yeah...

She really doesn't

@@stephpiano2908 yes she did she promoted it a lot on tiktok getting tiktok viewers into the show and that is how she promoted it

@@thinmints4life I think steph meant she really doesnt get enough credit, not that she didn't save the show

Live Love Theater no, they meant that she doesn’t get enough credit

@@thinmints4life who was she playing originally before she was lydia?

I would also argue the quote “If I knew then what I know now” 🖤💚 gone too soon and without a goodbye 😔

@@rockyxbautista amen to that (Also both characters by Leslie Kritzer 😁)

I feel like it went more of a yes sucks

Via -Otho**

Jason Ertl naw that was Otho

hadestown is my favorite musical of all time but even i can respect the absolutely incredible work that went into the beetlejuice set (it totally deserved that tony!)

Same.

Lexa The Snake one million percent YES

YES I AGREE

@@floatinjellies I agree, I'm really proud of Hadestown and I absolutely adore the set. It is a good use of the space and it, like all art forms, is subjective. However, Beetlejuice also had a clever set in that it is key to the storytelling. Hadestown had the lights in wait for me and the sinking stage for arriving in the underworld. But the set for Beetlejuice is cleverly transformed throughout the show, includes a lot of intricate details- some of which pay homage to the original source material- and overall, I believe it shows a much higher level of skill. Hadestown is brilliant and the set design is perfect for the show so I am very glad it won the Tony and yet the set of Beetlejuice was also perfect and visually incredible. I'm not mad about it, I was just surprised by the final choice as it was not the answer I would have chosen. Sorry for rambling and remember, this is just the opinion of a stranger on the internet. (Also, like with a lot of things I see people online comparing, they are too different to state that either is "better")

Omg really? How awesome!

Saw it on tour last month. So good!

I just saw it at a local theater but had no idea it came out so recently

Believe it or not... TikTok introduced me to this great musical!

My first exposure to the musical was a "That Beautiful Sound" animatic made by Penny Pepperoni. I know that this is one of the *most* popular songs, but it's true.

Hopefully we will

Sean Little i would BUY a 4k video release of beetlejuice if they ever released one

The 2019 Tony's Performance was my 1st introduction to Beetlejuice

I could not have said that better myself :)

Literal "cof cof" there

Sorry but who is the “cof cof”

@@bakon180 Sophia

@@gregory8060 why

Sammi Kornecki Elizaaaaaa

Sometimes puppet shows are sad

Sammi Kornecki lmaooo

hell yeaaa

Because there might be a pandemic who ruins everything for everyone

100% agree

Ik Alex Brightman was sooooo good

The Queen Of Slytherin exactly!

I fell in love with how Sophia played Lydia. She was so magical in her role. It’ll never be the same without her or rob

@@bellalovesmusicals yes, for me alex is the beetlejuice, and if they ever take a tour on my country, it won't be the same without alex

You're so sweet! It was definitely one of those moments where I did a double take on my phone after getting the patreon notification lol

I had the exact same reaction! Never pegged Kevin as a theater kid, but hey...

Missy Barbour Disney fans are automatically theater kids lmao

so basically dark sad lonely knight from holy musical b@man

“SUPER RICH… kinda makes it better…”

A Lego Batman Movie Musical would definitely be my guilty pleasure.

Thanks to Presley

just some dude online I like to joke that Presley Ryan WAS the Beetlejuice marketing team.

J Troxler ikr her TikToks probably introduced a lot of people to the show😂

i’m glad that beetlejuice got popular on tiktok or else i wouldn’t have found it

@@peytonvirkus6667 honestly

Wait in the Wings do you think that The Music Man might face some difficulties audience wise when it opens?

Mattbrain I meant like audience interest for the show in general because it seems like this musical would mainly attract older people and not younger like they may be hoping for

how bout six the musical? i wuld like to see u do a video on that

Wait in the Wings Thank you so much for this! I must have taken so much work! This is what all of us needed!

Mattbrain buuut The Music Man is also a pretty old show and I would imagine that despite having Hugh Jackman in the lead, they still might face a road block with the fact that the younger audience craves something unique and hasn’t already been done before.

So many great show ideas!! Thanks so much and I hope you're staying safe as well!

Minecraft Builds I really hope they can have just one more show to close the show fully

Lottie well it got hope to stay know because there going to spend a lot of money putting a new show on after things open back up so they won’t want to spend millions on a new show right away after losing millions. I feel it’s going to stay there for another year I’ve looked at how much they are losing and it’s going to be stupid if they put a new show on it’s less money running a show that’s already there

@@thebananacraft7298 Seems to make sense, in theory. But I don't know the specifics of how those things work however I imagine the investors are the ones paying the bulk to open it and the theater gets their agreed upon "rent" maybe its adjusted for when they open they get more, or a portion of sale who knows. It used to be the theater gets their "rent" while having the option to put money towards producing some shows, or "lending" money to the producers ala discounted rent. They would often invest somehow into the shows because without their money/discounts the producers wouldn't be able to put it on and that would mean an empty theater. But a big show like TMM likely would be able to make their rent even before the doors open. But clearly now, with no shows running they're all at a loss. Plus in normal times once they officially "close" all of the cast and crew would start looking/booking other jobs presuming their contracts are terminated but maybe their contracts are still running until june? And who knows how long TMM stars will stick around, with no show running that's eating into their contracted time. So yeah, a lot of balls in the air at this point... since these are nowhere near "normal" times and there's no official resume to normal function date... guess we'll be doing a lot of hoping and who knowsing for the foreseeable future. But it definitely was a very... odd, to say the least, ending for BJ.

There’s talks of them finding a new theatre

I know! I'm still bummed out that I never got the chance to see it before this whole covid 19 stuff happened, especially because I don't even live close to New York at all! All I can do is listen to the cast album constantly. Also, the songs get stuck in my head too! I really hope that I can see it on tour whenever they come close to where I live though.

I SCREAMED THAT WHEN I SAW THE CLIP

When I saw this clip, I thought he was doing a Jeremy Jamm impression. I expected him to say, “you just got Jammed”

I wish I could say this was done on purpose lol.

Oof. Hopefully you have gotten to see it now or will do so soon!

I remember reading somewhere that they will be back on tour in fall of 2021 so maybe we will be able to see them live someday :)

@@majesticmango5050 I HOPE SO

Well, I have some good news for you :)

Love that musical!

yeah i realy wantto see musicals but im on the other side ofthe earyh

It’s okay big guy

Lol

I feel ya there buddy.

SarcasticHamTrash I was blubbering like a baby last night after finishing this lol Carolee’s song is just perfect

YES

Me too especially doing of video what went wrong or right with Addams family I could see that

Like how my school was gonna do the show but we basically got snubbed because of Covid-19. In a few days we would have had our first show for the Addams family but this happened.

YESSSS

Omg Yes! That is a perfect idea.

Wow only 5?! That's insane! Was it really that bad?

Please yes I need this!!

I heard theres a beetlejuice slime tutorial here on youtube! (Trust me, just search it, you wont be disappointed, its a tutorial about death)

Beetlejuice is back!

If you're still looking for it I have some full videos but I don't know how good the quality is.

I also want to see it but I can’t find any of the full shows 😩🥺😢😭

WHY WAS THERE A CARRIE THE MUSICAL?!

Ingrid Bjørnstad That’s where it went wrong 😂

@@ingridbjrnstad4763 i really like the music...

Doesn't anybody ever get it right? Doesn't anybody think that I hear?

@@ingridbjrnstad4763 listen first before asking why

CanterlotCrusader 😂😂😂 literally my morning today

Whammu!

It's back! There's shows this April :D

Critics are incompetent narcissists

​@@Tigerlilly7827yep

What do you mean by that? Because if you’re talking about Ben Platt and his father, then real talk, your comment is giving me some real antisemitic vibes

Hella Lit! with Natalia Dozier-Torrelio he’s more talking about his dad as a producer and stuff. and i didn’t see any antisemitic comments?

@@natisdreamland HUH? I’m sick of the internet

@@natisdreamland So if you don’t love everything Jewish people do, it’s antisemitism? Uh…that’s not how it works.

Or seeing streamed on HBO Max too. (Just like the original cast of Hamilton on Disney+). Still that would be pretty cool

Nah just do Holy Musical Batman 2

Michael Griswold omg now I want a great comet video so bad

Thoose are exactly the main musicals i want to see in this series.

Oh God, what happened to Be More Chill?

Great Comet would make such a good video considering all the controversy around it's closing but good god I want a Tuck video so so bad

Rostam1369 Critics

I really hope so. I need something to send to people who ask me to explain it lol. Also I need the catharsis as I still haven't entirely processed what happened

@@stephpiano2908 I did a video on great comet and how it closed, it's on my channel! Though wait in the wings video will be better

yess

Agree. But perhaps he’s waiting until Beetlejuice officially closes to add anything.

Misery was not a musical, but a straight forward play. It received a Tony nomination for Laurie Metcalf as leading actress in a play.

@@tonycommodore8929 But think of all the harmonica solos we could’ve gotten if they’d let Bruce Willis sing

If I told the cops, I'd go to jail too. How do you think I accessed it?

And plus producers said they are waiting till Broadway officialy reopens until they can make any decisions!

@@Beetlejuice_Sam Right.

Rachel Ramos yes but I’m just saying don’t get your hopes to high because there is a good chance it’s not gonna happen

@@josephgrizzetti6993 We don't know...yet. I heard the same thing from Katherine Steele about not getting our hopes too high.

Rachel Ramos oh, YES

I hope they get a New Zealand/Australia cast. But maybe in around five years because well... I wanna be in beetlejuice so badly!

I might be able to see it then!

It’s Showtime😈

Wait in the Wings you are every theatre kid’s bio-exorcist

Ha, me too. I was afraid it was just gonna be another video hating on the show. There's still some comments hating on it, but I mean you get that with everything :/

Don't thank me...thank the 5G towers lol
