Andy Karl to Star as Beetlejuice in Singapore

Tony nominee Andy Karl will play the ghost with the most — Beetlejuice himself — in the Singapore leg of the Beetlejuice international tour. Performances begin January 15 at the Esplanade Theatre.

Based on Tim Burton’s 1988 film, Beetlejuice has an original score by Perfect and a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King. It is about Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon named Beetlejuice. The musical opened on Broadway in 2019.

Beetlejuice is directed by Alex Timbers, with choreography by Connor Gallagher and music supervision, orchestrations, and incidental music are by Kris Kukul. Karl’s previous productions with Timbers include Moulin Rouge! and Rocky on Broadway.

The production has scenic design by David Korins, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, sound design by Peter Hylenski, projection design by Peter Nigrini, puppet design by Michael Curry, special effects design by Jeremy Chernick, illusions by Michael Weber, hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe, make-up design by Joe Dulude II, dance arrangements by David Dabbon, and music producing by Matt Stine.
