The Netherworld recently descended on the Metro Detroit area, as Beetlejuice the Musical arrived at the Fisher Theatre! Kicking off the 2025-2025 Broadway in Detroit season, this show brought down the house with powerful performances and hilarious one-liners. As skeptics of the film, there was a lot on the line to see if our opinions of Beetlejuice could be changed by witnessing the musical in all its glory.

In this episode of the Box Seat Babes podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko explore the narrative offerings of Beetlejuice the Musical! While this show might be based on the Tim Burton film, the musical sees quite a few changes to the story, enriching the narrative arcs of a few of the characters. While Beetlejuice’s name may be on the marquee, the story lies more with Lydia and her ghostly companions, Adam and Barbra. Whose journey spoke the most to us? Which actor’s performance stole the show? Give this episode a listen to hear their thoughts about this musical and more!
