Stars Ask the Stars at the Opening of Beetlejuice on Broadway

Beetlejuice celebrated a life-affirming opening last night at the Winter Garden Theatre where the brand-new musical closed out Broadway's 2018-19 season. With a cast led by Tony nominee Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice) and Sophia Anne Caruso (Lydia Deetz), Beetlejuice brings the hit 1988 movie to the stage, featuring an original score by Eddie Perfect. We let the red-carpet guests ask all the questions, so find out what they were dying to know about this fresh production and its devilish cast.
