Beetlejuice the Musical Returns to Salt Lake City in January 2027
Beetlejuice is back! The outrageously hilarious Broadway musical based on Tim Burton's beloved 1988 film returns to the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater from January 5 through January 10, 2027. Following its wildly successful 2023 run in Salt Lake City, this eight-time Tony-nominated production brings its irreverent humor, jaw-dropping special effects, and unforgettable characters back to Utah as a special add-on to the Broadway at the Eccles 2026-27 season.
This gloriously ghoulish musical comedy tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with death, who discovers that her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon named Beetlejuice. When Lydia calls upon this "ghost-with-the-most" to help scare away her insufferable parents, chaos ensues in the most entertaining way possible. With a score by Australian composer Eddie Perfect and a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King, Beetlejuice tickets in Salt Lake City offer an experience unlike any other musical on tour.
A Fan-Favorite Production Returns to Utah
Salt Lake City audiences first fell in love with Beetlejuice during its 2023 engagement at the Eccles Theater, and the show returns even bigger and more spectacular for 2027. Despite not winning any Tony Awards during its initial Broadway run, Beetlejuice became a massive audience favorite, developing a devoted fan base that helped bring the show back to Broadway multiple times after pandemic closures threatened its future.
The production is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!, Here Lies Love), whose inventive staging transforms the Eccles Theater into a wonderfully weird world that perfectly captures the spirit of Tim Burton's original vision. The creative team includes Tony-nominated scenic designer David Korins, six-time Tony Award-winning costume designer William Ivey Long, and a team of special effects wizards who bring the Netherworld to vivid, hilarious life.
Why Beetlejuice Is a Must-See Experience
What sets Beetlejuice the Musical apart from other touring Broadway shows is its unapologetically irreverent approach to musical theater. The show embraces the macabre with gleeful abandon, featuring a giant sandworm, a demon who can't be ignored, and production numbers that push the boundaries of what's possible on a touring stage. The scenic design by David Korins, even in its touring configuration, remains jaw-dropping in its detail, creativity, and scope.
The technical achievements are matched by a score that ranges from punk-rock energy to surprisingly touching ballads. Eddie Perfect's music captures both the manic energy of the title character and the emotional journey of Lydia, a teenager grappling with grief and the feeling of being invisible to those around her. Songs like "The Whole Being Dead Thing," "Say My Name," and "Dead Mom" have become cult favorites among musical theater fans.

Designed by world-renowned architect César Pelli, the 2,500-seat Delta Performance Hall features cutting-edge theatrical technology essential for Beetlejuice's elaborate special effects, projections, and illusions. The venue's signature star-field ceiling adds an extra touch of otherworldly atmosphere.
Located at 131 Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City, the Eccles Theater has established itself as the Intermountain West's premier destination for touring Broadway productions. The venue's six-story grand lobby and dramatic glass walls create a stunning environment before you even enter the theater. Since opening in 2016, the Eccles has brought the best of Broadway to Utah audiences, and Beetlejuice represents exactly the kind of bold, innovative theatrical entertainment the venue was built to showcase.
