Updated lyrics below the readmore:

Holy crap! A ballad already? And such a bold departure from the original source material!

Hey folks, ain’t it pretty?

Look who’s back in New York City

Since your life’s been super shitty

Let’s start on, you know, the whole being dead thing

(Lyrics then continue as normal)

“Beetlejuice” tells a fun, humorous and exciting story about loneliness and death, said actor Yu Jun-sang who plays the eponymous character in the Korean-language version of the musical. Yu, who deftly moves between the small screen, the silver screen and the stage, plays the iconic Beetlejuice character, a green haired ghost who has been in existence for 9.8 billion years and is obsessed with life. Wi...

An article from The Korea Herald where one of the South Korean Beetlejuice actors is interviewed about the musical. 

Yu Jun-sang talks about his relationship to the character of Beetlejuice and what it was like to rehearse for a musical in the pandemic. Great, quick read.

Okay -- fair warning, this video starts with a solid forty seconds of schoolchildren screaming. BUT, it also has the best views of the sandworm puppets and a prop demo for the face-snakes mechanism used in That Beautiful Sound (let me know if there is a name better than ‘face-snakes mechanism’ please).

Also has solid snippets of Say My Name (Brightman and Ryan), Dead Mom (Ryan), and No Reason (Ryan and Ellis). You can also see high quality views of the set for the Deetz’s house.

[INTERVIEW] 'Beetlejuice' restaging director says 'Seoul run will be highlight of my career'

"Beetlejuice," the musical adaptation of Tim Burton's 1988 film, which premiered on Broadway in 2019, will hit Korea from June 18 to Aug. 7

Article from The Korea Times by Park Ji-won. Features an interview with restaging director and former stage manager for the Broadway run, Matt DiCarlo. Great insight into how the musical is being reworked for a South Korean audience and what they looked for when casting.

Personally, I’ve been curious about how certain jokes and references made in the musical would work in a different culture and language. This article answers some of those questions, so take a look if you’re interested in that as well.

Lyrics to the song under the read more:

You’re invisible when you’re sad

So I’m taking myself away

Daddy’s a sociopath

Who’s marrying a cliche

I pray that the folks in town

Never sell him their homes

And all of their plans fall down

And he eventually dies alone

I just can’t deal with Delia

It’s like my Dad’s Ophelia

And I’m just Hamlet going insane

So by the time you read this note

You’ll know that I’ve abandoned hope

And he’s to blame

So goodbye cruel world I’m done

Just popped off to see my mom

I’m lost and there’s nobody else

Daddy will be sorry when I kill myself
