The show will be heading to Etihad Arena.
If we say Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice three times, we might just summon the musical to the UAE. And now we have. Pro Active Entertainment ME earlier shared a post on Instagram, which got everyone anticipating Beetlejuice The Musical, and now it has been confirmed.
Beetlejuice The Musical is scheduled to take place at Etihad Arena from 20 to 30 November 2025. It’s based on Tim Burton’s cult classic film, Beetlejuice. The musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a teenager dealing with grief and a distant father. She moves into a haunted house and meets Beetlejuice. He is determined to break free from his curse. The catch: Lydia is the only one who can see him and lift the curse.
Beetlejuice The Musical brings together Tim Burton’s dark world of black comedy and gothic adventures. A mix of song and dance numbers have been added to the show, too. Fans of the film will remember Day O (Banana Boat Song), and the lines “Come Mr Tally Man, tally me banana”.
In 1988, the film Beetlejuice was originally released. The film starred Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O’Hara. The film was a commercial success, and made more than $84 million at the box office.
Presale tickets to Beetlejuice The Musical at Etihad Arena are now live, with prices starting at AED 99. General sales are expected to begin on 8 May. So grab yours now before they sell out.
