It was the most engaging and elaborate new musical I have seen in recent years. Technically excellent and great performance. Funny yet with poignant moments. And the final show in Brisbane was actually better than Melbourne, not sure if it was performance or a cleaner sound mix. Why the hell did it not come straight to Sydney after the Melbourne leg ? Grossly unfair to everyone the tour was cancelled.

Beetlejuice the musical (Australian production) was one of the best musical theatre performances I have ever seen. The voices of all the cast were amazing. Eddy Perfect's incredible ability as a singer/songwriter shone. Absolutely loved it.

Our family was very happy with the performance of all the crew. They are very talented, professional and perfect! The story was great and funny. I am sad to hear in the news that they will wrap up the show early 🙁.

This was a last-minute decision to go, and it was well worth it. All performers were on point, and their timing and tone were impeccable. It's such a pity that it's finishing early, as I'm sure more people deserve to see it.
