- Based on the 1988 Warner Bros. motion picture, "Beetlejuice the Musical" tells the story of Lydia Deetz, an unusual teenager obsessed with the whole "being dead thing." Lucky for Lydia, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon who happens to have a thing for stripes. When Lydia calls on this ghost-with-the-most to scare away her insufferable parents, Beetlejuice (Alex Brightman, "School of Rock") comes up with the perfect plan, which involves exorcism, arranged marriages and an adorable girl scout who gets scared out of her wits.

Ok
It’s funny how beetlejuice is played by the nicest person in the world
Alex Brightman is baby
Alex is our boi but he also does things you can imagine Beetlejuice doing like eating buttermilk fingers for breakfast
@@BinBeverage hell yeah
Michael could get quite stiff at times
So precious and smol. I say that but he's taller than me.
Give an applause: barely nothing
Alex: your so kind
That random person LOL I see you are not a simple sponge
The studio is very small. Looks way bigger on camera . I Attended a few tapings atmost they can fit 25 people .
I think also the mics didn't pick much of it up, since it could barely pick up the host's voice at his chest.
how do they not react to anything? he's being hilarious!
i see your profile picture 😳
Alex is the Keanu Reeves of Broadway
Holy shit if that isn’t the most accurate description....
Gnome Queen that is the best thing I’ve ever heard
They are both sweet irl but in their respective media in acting they are both booming with extreme energy
The most accurate statement ever made haha
Gnome Queen what about Lin Manuel Miranda?!
*HOW DID I JUST REALIZE HE HAS CHIPPED BLACK NAILS AHHH*
That Theater Nerd he has them when he play bugbeverage
Crew 42835 ant alcohol
It’s a part of his costume but he also does them so that he doesn’t bite his nails and ruin them :’)
Basic Trash ah yes my refreshing *ant water*
ant wine.
He deserved that Tony. Santino is great and all, but Alex is just incredible.
I agree. Santino is a very good actor but Tootsie is not his best work.
1000000% agreed .
Holy crow! I thought that the vocal trick was the reason behind the casting choice but he figured it out AFTER he got the role?!
Yeah, he actually had this rare thing with how his vocal chords or whatever were made, so he could do the BJ voice. He says it on an interview. Like, for other people it would be really hard and scratchy for anybody to do the voice for that long, but for Alex, he can sing and do anything doing the BJ voice and it doesn’t hurt at all. Like, it's just like speaking for him.
he says it... on this interview man... @@smakutostrange8884
HE’S SO NORMAL OMG-
alex must be protected at all costs he’s so precious i’m crying
26:04 THIS MAN IS THE SWEETEST. HES LITERALLY MAKING HIM FEEL BETTER ABOUT WHAT HE JUST SAID. IM NOT OKAY
I KNOW IT WAS FORKING ADORABLE
DID YOU SEE THE INTERVIEWERS FACE THE SECOND BEFORE? I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE GO FROM RELAXED AND LAUGHING TO "OH SH*T" THAT QUICKLY EVER
His voice changed so much when he said that. He showed so much emotion! It made me so sadddd 😭😢
@@ihavenocluehowtochangethen2987 that was such a 'oh sh**' face too.
"People die. That's what our show is about." Bless him
this man,, is an actual angel
An angel who plays a demon
No no no...he’s a ghost zombie Jesus
@Tehehe Tehehe obviously

21:24- the ultimate theatre nerd experience... watching a Beetlejuice interview with a Dear Evan Hansen bus going by in the background
So peoud of where my musical geek life is going-
Omg mee
sucksyass!
*I NEED TO GO ON THAT BUS-*
i need a recording of that musical so bad! it would be a crime to let the original cast and set design to be lost to the ether for such a great show!
Omg for reallllllll
I need that in my life
ArcannaRyu slime tutorialssss (bootlegs) exsist on youtubeeeee
Ardita Sings you’re a godsent I’ve been looking so so long for a bug beverage slime tutorial thank u
Ardita Sings love how I’ve already saw the show last Friday but Alex brightman wasn’t playing Beetlejuice so I’m rewatching it-
Dont mind me, just watching everything I possibly can on this after finding this musical 3 hours ago
Me too
That’s a mood tho
Ik it’s a bit late but welcome…
@@arianaecall thank you, and BTW, want a bootleg? I'm watching one now.. It doesn't have the beginning, but its pretty good quality so far (I'm at dead mom)
This is the link th-cam.com/video/IxgwMICklU0/w-d-xo.html
18:23 *Alex getting interrupted while trying to answer a question*
Me watching that scene:LET THE PURE BEAN SPEAK
Erin Chantal I can guess that you watch my hero academia
@@bakon180 lmao
I know right!
I’m not on broadway or anything, but I TOTALLY understand the nervous thing. I played Buddy in ELF and I was practically shitting myself before going onstage, but you use that energy to your advantage. It’s also weird because is happens EVERY single performance, but once you hit that stage you never wanna leave
im in my school drama club and i had like the tiniest line EVER and i was so freaking nervous. but, yeah, when you do it it just feels so good.
I was Caliban in my schools rendition of The Tempest, I was so nervous yet excited and loved every second of playing him. I think I’m just compelled by strange and unusual (and evil) characters because I myself am strange and unusual. Like, my recent favourite characters in musicals have been the SQUIP and Beetlejuice.
At the play, we had chosen that Caliban got to travel back with Prospero, but the very last time we were going to do it I came with the suggestion that Caliban could be left behind, that he didn’t get forgiven. I didn’t practice nearly as much as wished I had right before going out there. I was very anxious but everything went really well! And Caliban got a whole lot of “Awww”’s.
“Prospero! I’ve got everything packed and I think we’re ready to go! ...Prospero? Hey? Umm, Where is everybody? Prospero??”
so last year I got to be Aunt Em in my school’s production of the wizard of oz and even if it was a small role I remember being kinda nervous backstage (exactly what he was describing, having butterflies etc) but then when I got onstage it was this incredible feeling of adrenaline/excitement and that’s one of the things that made me realize how much more passionate I am about theater than I originally thought I was
i started crying when he talked about the first broadway show thing because i just saw my first show and it definitely changed my life.
So did I, like burst out crying. I thought I would be the only one!!
I wish I could go and see it; but I live on the other side.
Of the country.
Mood
I wish I could go and see it; but I live on the other side.
Of the world.
Me too
I live two hours from nyc but I still cant see it 😭
jillian patricia sy The interesting thing is distance isn’t necessarily everything... I live in California and it would be much cheaper for me to get a flight to London and see a West-End show than to get a flight to NYC and see a Broadway show.
Give a big applause for Alex Brightman!
Applause : *doesn’t do anything*
Alex : Thank you
21:24. Dear Evan Hanson bus passes.
Me: how dare you!
Alex is crazy talented and has a beautiful heart! Like how are you even real?! He’s soooooo amazing!
He's easy on the eye too. Not - pardon the pun- drop-dead gorgeous but very cute.
You forgot "The Musical, The Musical"
The musical. The musical. The musical.
Alex the musical the musical the musical the movie
I think the vocal thing may be similar to how the Muppet actors do monster voices like Grover and Oscar the Grouch - like how falsetto protects your voice up high above your money-range, only down low?
Hanon Ondricek yeah Freddie Mercury from Queen had the same ability
@@avasmith3801 *Freddie
He went on a radio show and yalked about it he uses a bit of skin above the vocal cords and it makes that sound without stressing his voice
Holy hell he is so CUTE!!!!!!! I just want to give him a hug!
The Tim Burton fans are satisfied
Fluttercord 05 i legit see you everywhere
Ineffable 4004 everybody liked that
Whenever i heard they were doing this musical I was worried it’d be horrible. But when I knew Alex was playing beetlejuice all my worries went away
“ are you guys excited?”
* 3 people clap*
“ yeah me too”
Alex is such a great man-
god i wanna hug him wtf
I think the audience might not have a mic or they just don’t want to put that kind of emphasis on them besides the individual questions. You can clearly hear someone engaging with him towards the beginning, so it’s not like they’re uninterested. We’re just so used to laugh tracks and audiences being extremely loud. They typically tend to make things seem louder in shows like these.
When he was talking about how he gets nervous before he goes on stage I was like “ I know the feeling even though I run track.”
cool
i just love how alex's nails are now just always painted black
Alex: *talks about being in underwear for the tony noms*
Me: WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEBODY; YOU PUT YOUR PANTS ON FOR THEM!!
that be more chill reference tho
Such a mood
FUCKING-
YES
JUST YES THANK YOU
That is just.. perfect. A perfect reference. Love it.
YES BMC
Why did I read this as “Alex Brightman chants about Beetlejuice musical?
He is so sweet I can’t-
Oh My god, I would love to see this show. I think Alex Brightman is sensational as BJ.
alex plays a demon yet he’s literally so sweet
I went to see beetlejuice and it was my first Broadway show and Alex made it amazing for me. He was so good and I still can’t get over it, I wish he came to the stage door but at the stage door I got a picture with Presley, David, and Adam. It was amazing!
Tanner Ryan Sam
just give Alex the world already
Alex is so humble and nice i would do anything to meet Alex Brightman he's so warm hearted
I love Alex. Eventhough I may not be able to see I know he is amazing and hilarious every night :)
HIS LAUGH IS SO CUTE AW
When he said “Playing, making funny faces and voices in the mirror.” He said we all did that as kids. I may have not done that as a kid, but I do relate. I would sing my heart out every day playing karaoke songs from TH-cam, and that is how I think my love and talent of singing came about. For the longest time I thought a lot of people did that! In a grand scale, there are a lot who did, but many who did other things like Alex!
When he said that thing about being able to be weird on stage and being encouraged for it, I just HHHHHHH This is why I love theatre and the theatre community
THE “IM GONNA NEED SOME HELP” IS SO FRICKIN CUTE
I’m a hula hoop performer and for halloween, I’m supposed to perform at a party. They told me my theme is beetlejuice. So I’m extremely excited for this.
Woah! Good luck!
Hula hoop beetlejuice? How would that work?....
I want to see Beetlejuice but everyone is wearing heels.
QuienTeAmanda 27 alternatively heelys
Hell on *heels*
I loved this show so much I wish could've bought more merchandise while I was there
I wish I could have gotten a tshirt when I saw it. But it's so freaking expensive.
“Well we’ll have to fetch her from heaven! It’s okay, people die, it’s what our show’s about”
gosh I LOVE HIM
I LOVE ALEX
I can’t imagine a better Sunday afternoon. Working on my own actor stuff and doing character work while listening to Alex Brightman interviews.
God he makes me want to be on broadway even more than I already do what the hell
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a man who truly loves his job. Be like Alex Brightman.
can i marry alex brightman
Same
not if i get to him first
@@APersonTM NEVER
ok but we gotta share
A HAREM
7:56
Just Alex being wholesome, I respect this man so much
as someone from the bay area, it’s so cool to see someone from the bay really make it
LMAO the Dear Evan Hansen bus at 21:21 trying to steal Beetlejuice's thunder
I saw this about two months ago as my first broadway show ever, and I had such an adoration for Beetlejuice the movie alone, and such an adoration for all things Broadway, and to have them combined for a first time experience was beyond amazing. Can’t thank the entire cast and crew enough for that (as well as both respective Alex’s). Only regret from it- can’t really afford to go see the show fifty more times which I’ve wanted since it ended.
LOVE ALEX!!!
21:23
the Dear Evan Hansen bus in the background 😂
I live on the Complete other side of the WORLD but I got to see this incredible man twice this week! My parents are amazing.
Lucky! I also saw it twice. Through slime tutorials!
*i love this man idk what made me love him*
He is a human meme and I’m loving for it!
I saw him in School of Rock & I loved that! Then I went to see Beetlejuice on my birthday and I was so pleasantly surprised with how the show turned out I’m for sure going to see it again!
he feels like such a genuine and nice guy!
Alex Brightman inspired me to try and join our theatre. I have wanted to since I was very young but never had the guts too. Hopefully, I can get a part to play in the next musical. Thank you, Alex!
Also holy shit, I wrote the first Broadway show experience comment before 22:30 and just to hear him say that makes me respect him as a performer even more (and I’m not even sure how that’s possible)
He deserves the world
I want to hug him forever wow
So are we not gonna talk about how Alex looks like Jack Black kinda because he kind of does but he is hot and charming enough that hes just better
I want to be his friend
So do I being BFFFs forever
Same
I wish I was his niece.
He plays a devil...but he is a literal angel 🥺💙
Also am I the only one who noticed he has chipped black nails?
see alex’s reasoning behind why he can do the voice is the reason i can’t imagine anyone else playing beetlejuice on your (hopefully) next year. obviously since he has the special ability to do stuff w his chords he’s able to do it healthily but for practically anyone else they’d have to either sacrifice his voice or sacrifice the performance.
I mean I have seen Will Blum doing BJ (not live, wrong continent :'(, you can find it here on youtube!) and yes, obviously the voice is completely different and he can't do the croak, but his Beetlejuice still totally works in its own right.
Alex brightman is baby 🥺
Alex deserves way more love
HES SO CUTE I CANT EVEN
Really wish I could have seen this in person. Hopefully a DVD or digital format gets released soon.
We must protect Alex at all costs
Everytime I feel bummed out I just come back here because this makes me so happy somehow
He is probably THE purest person on earth
i saw Beetlejuice in late January, and it was my first Broadway show! It was so incredible! I alo got Prezley Ryan (Lydia understudy) and Kerry Butler's (Barabara) signature. One of the best days of my life!
The audience kinda sucked.
Stick Gorl agreed
“Make a crazy amount of noise” makes about the noise one person can clap
I think for this show the like,,, kinda dull the audience noise.
Idk I know they do that kind of thing sometimes
the room that build is filmed in has limited seats so there’s overall not a lot of people there. i’ve been there multiple times and even with more popular people that have large crowds, they only let in about 20 people. but overall yeah i agree they could be louder lol
the audience isnt mic'd either. it sounds like only Alex and the host are mic'd
his laugh omfg sobbing
I’m in love with this dude! Alex my dude ❤️
Is it just me, or does it sound like someone yells "FUCK YOU!" at 16:46?
They are the same exact actor
I saw Beetlejuice last weekend and it was so good 😊
He’s so sweet ❤️
He is a great actor
Alex actually looks on the person who asked a question. And he's generally nice and cute🥰
im in love
I love Alex Soo much 😍😍😍😍
I love Alex Brightman.
Who doesn’t
Who's the paparazzi snapping in the background at 2:50? It kind of looks like Sophie Turner.
Omg I thought that too!!!
this was uploaded on my birthday, lol
He is such a good person you know being dead thing!!!
This host guys is so lucky
He's so right about those butterfliessssss!!!
i thought the host would be louder considering his last name
Omg so that’s how he does the voice so easy!! So nobody else can do it so easy 😂😂😂
He reminds me of jack black for some reason
"tall and statuesque" yea okay alex
