There are plenty of films that have become classics that younger generations are discovering and falling in love with just like you did. Heathers has been a hit and more movies are being turned into Broadway musicals and the Beetlejuice musical is finally ready to be seen by the masses. Some heavy hitters of the Broadway world are working on this musical which they say isn't just a remake of the movie. Starring as Beetlejuice is Tony-nominated Alex Brightman from School of Rock and Sophia Anna Caruso will be taking on the role of Lydia. The director is a Broadway alum, Alex Timbers who directed Moulin Rouge! and Peter and the Starcatcher. Timbers says the musical will be "edgy, funny and surprising."
