Hi, my name is Charles
0:01
Hi, I'm Isabella Burke. I'm Thai. I'm 12 years old. I'm 14 years old
0:06
I'm 11, and the show I got to see was... Beetlejuice on Broadway
0:14
Hi! I'll be your guide. I'll be your G-U-I-D-E to the other side

Beetlejuice is about a couple who passes away and a new family moves into their old house
0:34
Teenager Lydia Dietz, greatly affected by the death of her mother and misunderstood by both her father and his new girlfriend
0:44
moves into a peaceful house in the suburbs. But with one catch, the house is being haunted by three ghosts
0:52
Unlike regular mortals, Lydia can see the dead. All three ghosts have one goal in common, to get the family out of the house
1:02
So Lydia and the couple join forces with Beetlejuice to help get the couple's house back
1:07
Beetlejuice has something else in mind too He needs a living person to say his name three times so that every living person can see and hear him Lydia says Beetlejuice name three times
1:22
It unleashes the netherworld and gives her hope of finding her dead mom
1:29
Yes, I've seen the movie many times and I really like it. I had watched the movie Beetlejuice prior to seeing the musical because my parents were educating me on 80s culture
1:38
I have actually seen only about 20 minutes of the Beetlejuice movie
1:44
I turned it off because it was a bit too scary for me. However, the musical was not
1:49
It was better than the movie in every way. I love all the characters, but I think my favorite would have to be Lydia
1:58
because, well, she's the closest to my age in the show. My favorite character was Lydia Dietz, played by Sophia Ann Caruso
2:06
The songs she sings are my favorites and my favorites to sing
2:10
And she could see the dead. Tell me that's not cool. My favorite character in Beetlejuice was, in fact, Beetlejuice
2:17
played by Alex Brightman for many reasons. He's so funny that almost everything he says
2:24
even if it not supposed to be a joke is funny I honestly love all the songs Like I listened to all the songs so many times My favorite song was Dead Mom sung by Sophia Ann Caruso
2:38
because it defies musical theater standards by being a cross between pop, rock, and theater
2:44
Hey, mom, dead mom, I need a little help here. I'm probably talking to myself here
2:53
But tell mom I've got to ask. That Beautiful Sound is my favorite song from Beetlejuice
2:59
I think it's more in the style of a classic Broadway song
3:04
than most of the other songs in the show. That beautiful sound
3:14
The set was beyond belief. From the moment I walked in the theater
3:17
I felt like I was in a haunted house. One of my favorite pieces
3:22
was the fact that there were three different versions of the house
3:28
So one would go on and then it would move back and another one would come on
3:35
The moral of the story was enjoy life while you have it because some others are not as fortunate I think the moral of Beetlejuice is to be careful what you wish for The moral of the story is to not say the B word Beetlejuice
3:53
I think other kids would love Beetlejuice. I mean, really, who wouldn't? If you've seen the movie
4:00
it's really cool to enjoy because it's like a movie coming to life, which is really fun
4:06
but there's a lot more adult humor in the musical than in the movie
4:11
Because there are a few dirty jokes, I would recommend it for ages 12 and up
4:16
but anyone can enjoy the magic of a great show like Beetlejuice
4:23
Zany. Wild. Freaky. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice! All we want to do is hear that sound
4:30
All we want to do is hear that sound. Fellas! All we want to do is hear that sound
