(SUMMIT, NJ) -- The Summit Playhouse's Kaleidoscope Youth Theatre presents Beetlejuice, Jr. with two casts from June 25-28, 2026. Based on the blockbuster motion picture turned Broadway show, Beetlejuice Jr. tells the story of a strange and unusual teenager named Lydia Deetz, still grieving the loss of her mother, and obsessed with death.
Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
Beetlejuice, Jr. features Music and Lyrics by Eddie Perfect; Book by Anthony King and Scott Brown.
The production team includes Director: Jonah Ruderman; Assistant Producer/ Choreographer: Alyssa Natale; Musical Director: Analise Levesque; Assistant Director: Maddie Yadlon; and Producer: Kristina Yadlon.
