Beetlejuice The Musical -- National Tour Comes to Kansas City

The Beetlejuice national tour has been selling out theaters across the country, and now Kansas City gets its turn. The show runs October 2 through 4, 2026 at Starlight Theatre, one of the largest and most beautiful outdoor theaters in the United States. Located in Swope Park, Starlight seats nearly 8,000 and has been a Kansas City entertainment landmark since 1950.

Beetlejuice The Musical is based on the 1988 Tim Burton film starring Michael Keaton. The stage version tells the story from the perspective of Lydia Deetz, a teenager dealing with grief who encounters the recently deceased Maitlands and the chaotic, hilarious demon Beetlejuice. The show features a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King, with music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect. It premiered on Broadway in 2019 and quickly built a massive following, especially among younger audiences who discovered the show on social media.

The production is known for its incredible set design, which transforms the stage into a haunted house full of surprises. Puppetry, special effects, blacklight sequences, and a massive sandworm are just some of the visual spectacles audiences can expect. The score blends rock, pop, and theatrical styles with songs that are catchy, funny, and surprisingly emotional. Songs like Say My Name, Dead Mom, and the show-stopping title number have become fan favorites.

With only three performances in Kansas City, this is a limited engagement. Starlight Theatre shows tend to draw large crowds, especially for touring Broadway hits, so early ticket purchases are recommended.
