Get Ready For A Spooktacular Adventure

This June, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center will be crawling with laughter, music and a little mischief from beyond the grave as LCA Performing Arts presents the hilariously haunting musical Beetlejuice, Jr. Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 8th at 5:00 p.m. — this is one family-friendly fright-fest you won’t want to miss!

Based on Tim Burton’s beloved 1988 cult classic and adapted from the hit Broadway production, *Beetlejuice, Jr.* puts a youthful twist on the ghost-with-the-most. This electrifying production follows the story of Lydia Deetz, a goth teen with a sharp wit and a fascination with the supernatural, who accidentally summons the wildly unpredictable ghost Beetlejuice. Chaos ensues as Beetlejuice sets his sights on the Deetz household, leading to a whirlwind of ghostly antics, big laughs and unexpected heart.

Presented by the talented students of LCA Performing Arts, Beetlejuice, Jr. promises a show-stopping mix of comedy, energy and unforgettable musical numbers. From the opening chords to the final curtain call, audiences will be treated to spine-tingling choreography, imaginative sets and jaw-dropping costumes that bring the eerie and eccentric world of Beetlejuice to vivid life.

“This show is a celebration of creativity, individuality and the magic of live theater,” says one of the parents. “The students have poured their hearts into every scene and their performances will leave audiences laughing, gasping—and maybe even singing along.”

Whether you're a longtime fan of the original film or brand new to the Beetlejuice universe, this junior adaptation captures all the charm and cheekiness that has made the story a fan favorite for decades. With musical hits like “The Whole ‘Being Dead’ Thing” and “Say My Name,” even the most skeptical mortals will be enchanted.

Beetlejuice, Jr. is part of LCA Performing Arts’ mission to empower young performers through high-quality theatrical experiences. This production offers students a chance to explore bold characters, challenge their performance skills and work together to create something truly unforgettable.

The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center, known for its intimate setting and state-of-the-art facilities, is the perfect venue for this spirited spectacle. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the one-night-only show kicks off at 5:00 p.m. sharp on Sunday, June 8th, 2025.

So grab your black-and-white stripes, say his name three times and prepare for an evening of frightful fun and musical magic. With laughter, heart and a touch of the afterlife, Beetlejuice, Jr. will leave you screaming—for more!
