Published 6:00 pm Sunday, March 1, 2026
The ghost-with-the-most is coming to the Astoria High School stage in “Beetlejuice Jr.,” a “frightfully funny” musical based on the motion picture.
Performances take place at 6:30 p.m. March 6-7; March 13-14. There are 2 p.m. matinees on March 8 and March 15. Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime.
“Beetlejuice Jr.” tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager grieving the loss of her mother. 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, the double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
With music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect and a book by Anthony King and Scott Brown, “Beetlejuice” was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including best new musical.
This production includes a cast and crew of nearly three dozen high school students. It is directed by Katherine Lacaze.
Tickets are $15 adults and $5 for students, children and seniors 65 and over.
The show includes a 15-minute intermission with concessions for sale. All proceeds go to support the AHS theater program.
