Beetlejuice At The Majestic Theater In San Antonio

We absolutely love the movie Beetlejuice. It started with me, who watched it often as a kid. Then I showed it to my kids and was pleased when they also were amused. 

In fact, they were even Beetlejuice and Lydia one Halloween:

My daughter started watching clips of the Beetlejuice on Broadway first. She absolutely loved the opening number and the Dead Mom song. In fact, when she visited NYC last year, she purchased a Playbill with Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice) and Elizabeth Teeter (Lydia) because she loved them so much. They've since moved on from the show, but there are still talented people in the current one.

So Beetlejuice closed in NYC but then went on a National tour and guess where one of the stops was? 

San Antonio!

As soon as the announcement was made, I got a text from Natalie all excited about it. 

CAN WE GOOOO????!!!!

I mean, duh, of course we can go.

Tickets went FAST. Like seriously, I've never seen them go so quickly. But I was luckily able to grab some. 

We've been to the Majestic Theater many times to see shows, and it's always beautiful inside. 

Check out some of the decor:

I mean, wow:

And the show was incredible! It loosely follows the plot of the film and honestly, I think I prefer the show storyline better. 

Everyone was talented and the set and effects were enchanting:

Beetlejuice the character is absolutely hysterical. He had the theater roaring with laughing a number of times. Filthy jokes, lewd behavior, the works. 

I absolutely loved t.

When the show ended, we of course went to the stage door to see if any of the performers would emerge. It's never expected but always appreciated when it happens. We completely understand if the performers are exhausted and simply want to return to their room and relax. 

But we got lucky! 

Larkin Reilly was on for Lydia on our night and she was outstanding. It's normally Isabella Esler, and I've heard she's amazing as well. Larkin was kind enough to come out and sign and take photos. Natalie practically fell over from excitement:

Hillary Porter, who played Miss Argentina and is also in the ensemble came out and she was gorgeous and friendly:

And we didn't expect Justin Collette who played Beetlejuice to come out, because man, that part must be exhausting, but he did! He also was kind and friendly and happily signed autographs and took pictures. My shy daughter even asked for a selfie because she loved his performance so much:

We had the absolute BEST night. After Natalie met Justin, she was on cloud nine. 

Seriously, if Beetlejuice is coming to your town, go see it. You will not be disappointed. From the ensemble to the actors to the techies, this show is one to watch. If it comes to San Antonio again, we'd buy tickets for sure.
