"Invisible(Reprise)/On the Roof" & "Say My Name" - Beetlejuice the Musical Animatic

I'm finally done! The animatic for "Invisible(Reprise)/On the Roof" and "Say My Name" is finished, and here it is! I just want to say thank you so much to every single person who was a part of bringing Beetlejuice on Broadway to life. It's such an incredible show that's brought me so much joy these last few months. I like to consider this video my send off for the show! Hope you all like it!

[@CodeRed99911]

@@MsAliciaRL More like only option, he doesn't just need it to be a living person, he needs it to be someone with enough natural spiritual ability they can see and/or hear otherworldly beings. Since if someone can't see or hear him then he has no way of convincing them to learn and then say his name.

[@Scarshadow666]

Interesting Fact: In one of the earlier drafts of the Beetlejuice movie script, there was going to be an origin story to how Beetlejuice died (let's just say that he was drunk and couldn't figure out how to adjust a noose well). So, it's kinda (probably unintentionally) powerful writing-wise that he would prevent Lydia from dying in a similar way, albeit the musical version of him has a different backstory since he’s a demon instead of a powerful ghost. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@BenHopkins1000]

Like another undead antihero said: “Even the damned are capable of doing some good.”

I’m not sure if Brightman does it this way, but I saw a TikTok where the other BeetleJuice voice actor said how he did it. The actor has a small white microphone on his head, it’s the same shade of white as his face paint so you won’t notice it unless you’re looking for it. Every BeetleJuice line is actually being whispered, and the microphone amplifies his voice.

This is both super accurate in that BJ looks like BJ's actual actor, yet you added a further level of expressiveness and really got the zany energy I associate with both the musical and cartoon versions captured in this.

Hazbin Headcanon: This was Adam's fate after his (rather humorous) demise at Nifty's hands. After perishing in Lute's arms, his soul stayed in hell and was reborn as the demon "Beetlejuice". Now in his sinner form, he obviously can't go back to Heaven and due to his previous status as an exterminator, Hell won't accept him. So he's stuck wandering the earth as a ghastly spectre, a shell of his former self. He looks exactly like his angel appearance, just more unkempt, disheveled, and raggedy. His power is now also just a mere fraction of what it once was, to fully regain it, he just needs a mortal to say his name thrice with no interjection. Unfortunately, for someone who always had the spotlight in heaven, nobody on earth could even see him. There was absolutely zero chance Beetlejuice could get his power back, until a certain family moved into that old crooked house on the hill. I mean, it doesn't make much sense but TELL ME you don't see Adam singing this song and find it hilarious. Probably why he's acting so desperate too.

3:27-3:42 you capture this back and forth interaction so well. I'd have to replay that a bunch of times

[@chiara9033]

I don't know why but the tune at 2:34 it's always gonna be my favorite

[@lizbroski3869]

2:39 My mom wanted to play charades so I did beetle juice and said "Wow, I'm impressed, and all you gotta do is say my name three times, three times in a row it must be spoken unbroken. Ready?" because I am a dork XD

[@starxx918]

so good omg 😭🙏

[@mrgabrielfantastic5895]

This feels like a Disney movie but for mature audience

[@theHedgex1]

You know at anytime he could have won this musical back and forth until he decided to open his mouth and found out that he lost it at. 4:35. All the gestures he did 'even the begging' on his knees was for his own benefit in manipulation but this is where his truth and panic really came out.

[@nothanks2984]

Ok but why do I think hes cuter as a chubby lil demon :>

[@makenzeemorris9437]

Omg saaaaame

[@grimoireweiss6428]

This deserves more than a millions views. There hasn’t been a good say my name Animatic in months. This has earned itself 3 million views in my eyes.

[@wortblume2317]

3:31 I don't know why this moment with him just creepily STANDING there keeps sending me

[@wortblume2317]

Also 4:30 - perfect background action

[@lianaflores]

oh my god this is incredible!!

[@robynnhoud4001]

Oh my gosh! Fancy seeing you here!

[@bluebeeboo]

Agree! Also, fancy seeing you here too hahhaha

[@marikaubi8509]

4:18 LMAOOOOO THAT IS SUCH A THING WHAT BEETLEJUICE WOULD DO

[@maximilian8829]

That is something he does in the musical. Sad that it won't be running again after all this.

YOURE THE OKE WHO DID THE STORYBOARDS FOR HELLUVA AND F&C I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU YOUR ART IS SO AMAZING OH MY GOD

[@hyperknight612]

4:12 Beetlejuice looks like me when I drink too much coffee. By the way... BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE!

[@PM-qk1td]

This entire thing's just perfect. Not just the animatic, but also the credits. You can really tell that this is made by a professional, wow. 👏👏👏🤩

[@dustytailstudios]

Yes he's telling lidia to kill her dad..but if you think about it, he did save her from committing suicide

[@twist_ending7545]

Yeah, only because that's how he died AND she's the only one who can see him.

[@tiddysmeller]

@@twist_ending7545 Woah rlly? I genuinely didn't know that, did he say that in the movie? (It's been a WHILE since I've seen the movie sry I mostly remember the musical now)

Ok but Beetlejuice in this animatic is adorable-

[@tnaoro]

2:50 iconic part

[@chaossnuclearbrush6179]

I think this is the most accurate someone has drawn beetle juice

[@jamcrystal_]

I've been on every one of your Twitch streams and I'm so happy to see the finished product!! You are so talented and I love every single second!!! I've had so much hype for this animatic and omg I am shocked! BEAUTIFUL :O

[@Looseer]

The amount of emotion and flow put into this animatic is insane

[@onelove-uq5do]

The part where BJ possess Adam and Barbra Is my favourite part of these songs.

[@damnedman0455]

Why does all the actions Beetlejuice does make him look just so loveable... even despite him doing a JFK and peeling back his scalp

[@ZigealFaust]

It's weird cuz Movie BJ is an absolute dick I wouldnt want to be in the same city as. But animated and musical BJ is just a lovable goofball who sometimes goes a bit overboard.

[@srohling6849]

This is the first animatic where they made Beetlejuice accurate instead of handsome.

[@alecsarmy3222]

I love how much personality the characters have in this animatic, like you can really feel their emotions and the gestures they all do are just so AMAZING UGH

[@adiebugx]

I wish I could see this musical so bad but this was almost as good as the real thing! Somehow you made him super cute and also a gross clown?? I am AMAZED. EDIT: I have lost count of how many times I have watched this animatic. IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE MAKE MORE BEETLEJUICE ANIMATICS IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE!!!
