The Amherst community in Washington, D.C. is invited to be among the first to see the pre-Broadway run of BEETLEJUICE. In addition, Charles C. (Sandy) Wilkes ’71 P’08, President of the Board of the National Theatre is hosting a meet and greet for Amherst alumni and friends at 1:00 p.m. in the 4th-floor lobby. Refreshments are available for purchase at the theater concession stand.
BEETLEJUICE is directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers with choreography by Connor Gallagher, an original score by Eddie Perfect and a book by Scott Brown and Emmy Award nominee Anthony King. The musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon who happens to have a thing for stripes. When Lydia calls on this ghost-with-the-most to scare away her insufferable parents, BEETLEJUICE comes up with the perfect plan, which involves exorcism, arranged marriages and an adorable girl scout who gets scared out of her wits.
