Beetlejuice Jr. is a musical that brings the ghost-with-the-most to life, telling the story of Lydia Deetz, a teenager still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with death. Her father moves her to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a demon with a zest for life.
