‘Beetlejuice! The Demos!’ offers fans a look at the musical’s cut songs
type= text/javascript >In 2020, we’ve all been sadly deprived of musical theatre (among many other things). But there is solace to be found in additional material being released from one of our favorite shows!
Beetlejuice the musical was a surprise hit on Broadway in 2019, amassing a very loyal following of fans. Its run, like so many other Broadway shows’, was cut short in March 2020. (Though not all hope is lost: there is a production of the musical slated to open in Seoul, South Korean next summer!) When Hypable spoke with composer Eddie Perfect a year ago, he said, “there are probably about 25 cut songs from Beetlejuice.” Now, he is giving us a chance to hear some of them!
