| BEETLEJUICE TO OPEN ON BROADWAY AT THE WINTER GARDEN THEATRE IN APRIL 2019 PREVIEWS BEGIN MARCH 2019 WASHINGTON D.C. WORLD PREMIERE AT NATIONAL THEATRE BEGINS PERFORMANCES OCTOBER 14, 2018 MUSIC & LYRICS BY EDDIE PERFECT BOOK BY SCOTT BROWN & ANTHONY KING CHOREOGRAPHED BY CONNOR GALLAGHER DIRECTED BY ALEX TIMBERS BASED ON THE GEFFEN COMPANY PICTURE, WITH STORY BY MICHAEL MCDOWELL AND LARRY WILSON Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures (Mark Kaufman) and Langley Park Productions (Kevin McCormick) announce today that the new musical comedy Beetlejuice will open on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway) in April 2019. Beetlejuice will begin Broadway previews in March 2019. Beetlejuice will have its world premiere at the National Theatre in Washington D.C., beginning performances on Sunday, October 14, 2018 and officially opening on Sunday, November 4, 2018. Beetlejuice is directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!, Peter and the Starcatcher), with an original score by Eddie Perfect (King Kong), a book by Scott Brown & Emmy Award nominee Anthony King (Broad City), choreography by Connor Gallagher (The Robber Bridegroom), and music supervision, orchestrations and incidental music by Kris Kukul (Joan of Arc: Into the Fire). It’s showtime, folks! Beetlejuice is ruder, raunchier and frankly, more repellent than ever in this original musical based on Tim Burton’s wonderfully demented film. Beetlejuice 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. Beetlejuice features scenic design by two-time Tony Award nominee David Korins (Hamilton), costume design by six-time Tony Award winner William Ivey Long (The Producers), lighting design by Tony Award winner Kenneth Posner (Kinky Boots), sound design by four-time Tony Award nominee Peter Hylenski (Frozen), projection design by Drama Desk Award winner Peter Nigrini (Dear Evan Hansen), puppet design by Drama Desk Award winner Michael Curry (The Lion King), special effects design by Jeremy Chernick (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), illusions by Michael Weber (Forrest Gump), music producing by Matt Stine, dance arrangements by David Dabbon, casting by Telsey + Company and Rachel Hoffman, CSA; Associate Director Catie Davis, Associate Choreographer Nancy Renee Braun and Line Producer Jenny Gersten. Beetlejuice is based on the 1988 Academy Award-winning Geffen Company motion picture with story by Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson. The smash hit comedy was directed by Tim Burton and starred Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder. WASHINGTON D.C. TICKET INFORMATION Tickets for the Washington D.C. world premiere of Beetlejuice range from $54.00 – 114.00 and are available at www.TheNationalDC.com.

| He won't own up to anything. It's his stupid proclamations out here that drive me batty. It's easy to say anything out here. It's much harder to issue a retraction. | |

| It wouldn’t surprise me if the tour did stop on broadway. To mount a new production is probably $12-15m or more. Tour stop is probably $6-8m since there is no casting, rehearsals, sets, costumes etc. mostly reserves, insurance and publicity money needed. There will probably be several more theaters opening up this spring. | |

| The Paint may be Drying a little faster now, but LOVE NEVER DIES remains a well intentioned, but not very good show. Sorry ALW. | |

| It would be wise to keep this vanity project far away from the NY critics. Other than the design elements, it is execrable--I would call it the worst thing I ever saw that purported to be professional theater, but I also saw THE BODYGUARD tour, so... | |
