After a fan-led revival, Beetlejuice will end its Broadway run Jan. 8, 2023.
The Broadway musical, based on the 1988 Tim Burton film, originally opened at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre on April 25, 2019, and later announced a June 2020 closing (which was moved up due to the industrywide shutdown in March 2020). The closing notice, prompted by the theater owner, was notable because it came as the grosses for the musical were on an uptick, which the production credited to growing fan engagement. However, The Music Man was slated to take that theater.
The musical reopened at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway in April 2022, with most of its original cast.
Since returning to Broadway, the musical has experienced more of a struggle at the box office. In recent weeks, the production has grossed less than 1 million and has been playing to capacities of 60 to 70 percent.

Danny Rutigliano has been kicking around New York theater circles for years. (His last Broadway credit: the bellhop in the 2011 revival Born Yesterday.) But the fire-hydrant-sized actor finally gets his moment in the center-stage spotlight in the new revival of composer Sheldon Harnick and lyricist Jerry Bock’s 1959 biomusical Fiorello!, running through this Sunday at New York City Center as part of the Encores! series. Rutigliano makes the most of the opportunity, bringing an infectious energy (and some surprisingly light-footed dance moves) to the role of Fiorello Laguardia, the five-foot-tall New York city pol who challenged the corrupt Tammany Hall...
