Beetlejuice Takes Canada by Storm

If there’s one thing Beetlejuice knows how to do, it’s make an entrance. Kicking off in Vancouver from January 21 to 26, 2025, at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, the musical is set to tour across several major Canadian cities. Each city promises its own wild ride, but the magic and mayhem remain the same. Calgary audiences will get a taste of the afterlife at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium from February 4 to 9, 2025, while Edmonton takes its turn from February 11 to 16, 2025, at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. And of course, Toronto—the queen of Canadian theatre—will host Beetlejuice from March 12 to 24, 2025, at the Princess of Wales Theatre.

But that’s not all. Beetlejuice is also set to visit Ottawa and Montreal, bringing the same freaky fun to the capital and the French-speaking province. No matter which city you’re in, you can count on Beetlejuice to deliver a night of jaw-dropping humor, stunning visuals, and heartwarming lessons about family, love, and finding joy even in the afterlife. It’s showtime, baby!

Why You Can’t Miss Beetlejuice in 2025

What makes Beetlejuice so special? For starters, it’s more than just a musical—it’s an experience. With a Tony Award-nominated score by Eddie Perfect, this show is packed with energetic songs that will have you humming long after the final curtain falls. From the devilishly catchy “The Whole ‘Being Dead’ Thing” to the hauntingly beautiful “Dead Mom,” the soundtrack is full of surprises, mixing humor and emotion in unexpected ways.

The story follows Lydia Deetz, a goth teen with a fascination for the afterlife, as she navigates the challenges of grief, friendship, and a mischievous ghost named Beetlejuice. When Beetlejuice teams up with Lydia to scare her family out of their new home, chaos ensues—and audiences are here for it. The show’s set design, helmed by David Korins (of Hamilton fame), transports you straight into the afterlife, blending Tim Burton’s spooky aesthetic with modern theatrical flair. Expect larger-than-life puppets, dazzling special effects, and visual surprises around every corner.

But beneath all the spooky fun, Beetlejuice is also a heartfelt tale about family and love. It’s not just about scaring people or pulling pranks—it’s about connection and finding your place, even if you’re six feet under.

A Smash Hit on Broadway—and Beyond!

Beetlejuice made its Broadway debut in 2019 and quickly became a fan favorite, thanks to its quirky charm, electric performances, and hilarious take on the afterlife. Although the show had to temporarily close in 2020 due to the pandemic, its return to the stage in 2022 was nothing short of triumphant. Performing at the Marquis Theatre, Beetlejuice packed in sold-out audiences and even broke box office records at its original Broadway home, the Winter Garden Theatre.

And here’s the kicker—Beetlejuice didn’t just attract your typical theatergoers. Thanks to platforms like TikTok, where fans shared clips from the musical, Beetlejuice became a sensation with younger audiences. The show’s catchy songs and outrageous humor brought in a whole new generation of Broadway fans, making it one of the most successful shows of the 2018–2019 season. Now, the same magic is coming to Canada, and it’s your chance to be part of the ghostly fun.

What to Expect from the Show

Let’s be honest, Beetlejuice isn’t your typical Broadway musical. It’s edgy, irreverent, and filled with laugh-out-loud moments that’ll have you cackling in your seat. And while it’s definitely aimed at an adult audience, the show doesn’t shy away from the heartfelt moments that make it so much more than just a comedy. It’s a story about loss, but also about finding new ways to live—er, even if you’re already dead.

Expect plenty of cheeky humor, epic dance numbers, and a set design that’s truly out of this world. The costumes (designed by the legendary William Ivey Long) are a stunning mix of goth and camp, with Beetlejuice’s signature black-and-white stripes stealing the show. The lighting and special effects (courtesy of Tony Award winners Kenneth Posner and Jeremy Chernick) will transport you into another dimension—seriously, you’ve never seen anything quite like this!

If you’re a fan of the original Tim Burton movie, you’ll love the nods to iconic scenes and quotes, but even if you’re new to the story, Beetlejuice will have you laughing, crying, and coming back for more.
