HAPPY HALLOWEEN BROADWAY FANS! We’re only 27 DAYS till the 100th Anniversary of a landmark MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET….. The 2026 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Besides the Floats, Balloons, Bands, Stars, and Santa, we’re showcasing the best of the Great Bright Way from previous telecasts on our TOP 30 BROADWAY’S AT MACY’S COUNTDOWN. So many legendary performances heading your way. Here we go!!

At # 27 on our countdown, we’re about to get the epic SCARE as everyone’s favorite troublemaking bio-exorcist from a mysterious world is about to give you chills. We’re talking about the one and only Beetlejuice!!! Based on the 1988 Tim Burton film of the same name, the show features a score by Eddie Perfect and a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King.

From the 2019 telecast, Tony nominee Alex Brightman as the titular role and members of the original cast of STRANGE AND UNUSUAL residents of the NEITHERWORLD perform a medley of the classic DAY-O and the show’s opening number THE WHOLE BEING DEAD THING.

With the success of the original film which earned a huge creepy cult following, BEETLEJUICE was first in the early developments of making the jump from the screen to the Broadway stage back in 2016. It had 2 years of early development reading and workshop labs.

Following those labs, the show had its official world premiere at the National Theatre in our Nation’s Capitol of Washington D.C. in the Fall of 2018. It was well received by critics before it officially arrived in our New York City backyard spooking Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre in the Spring of 2019. The show became an instant smash hit earning critical acclaim for the cast and the production (including its unbelievable onstage special effects). The show was forced to move out of the Winter Garden Theatre in making way for the then revival of The Music Man in 2020. It’s final performance was initially set for June 6th, 2020. It ended up being abruptly cut short and closed early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. BEETLEJUICE’s last show before Broadway was shutdown happened on March 10th, 2020 following a complete total of 393 performances.

Eventually, the show moved its way to the Marquis Theatre where it ran for an additional 312 performances. Under the direction of Alex Timbers and choreographed by Connor Gallagher, the cast was led by…..

Alex Brightman as BEETLEJUICE,

Sophia Ann Caruso (later Presley Ryan and Elizabeth Teeter) as “Lydia Deetz”,

Tony nominee Rob McClure (later David Josefberg” as “Adam Maitland”

Tony nominee Kerry Butler as “Barbara Maitland”,

Leslie Kritzer as “Delia Deetz”,

Adam Dannheisser as “Charles Deetz”,

Danny Rutigliano as “Maxie Dean”,

Jill Abramovitz in the dual roles of “Maxine Dean” and “Juno”,

Kelvin Moon Loh as “Otho”,

and

Dana Steingold as “Skye, The Girl Scout”.

Beetlejuice was nominated for 8 Tony Awards in 2019 for….

BEST MUSICAL,

BEST LEADING ACTOR IN A MUSICAL (for Alex Brightman),

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (for Eddie Perfect),

BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL (for Scott Brown and Anthony King),

BEST SCENIC DESIGN OF A MUSICAL (for David Korins),

BEST COSTUME DESIGN OF A MUSICAL (for William Ivey Long),

BEST LIGHTING DESIGN OF A MUSICAL (for Kenneth Posner and Peter Nigrini),

&

BEST SOUND DESIGN OF A MUSICAL (for Peter Hylenski).

However, it lost all of its categories.

It did win however the Drama League Awards for Excellence in Directing (for Alex Timbers), a Drama Desk Award for OUTSTANDING SCENIC DESIGN OF A MUSICAL (for David Korins), and Sophia Ann Caruso was the recipient of the OUTSTANDING NEW YORK STAGE DEBUT PERFORMANCE AWARD at the Theater World Awards.

Since its life on Broadway, BEETLEJUICE has gone on to be a smash worldwide including its North American tour and several companies in Asia.

Last year, BEETLEJUICE is back on Broadway for a strictly limited 13 week run of 103 PERFORMANCES haunting a beloved legendary place…. the Palace Theater. This production featured the touring company as it returns to NYC commemorating the end of its 3 years on the road. With the same creative team, this cast included…

Justin Collette as BEETLEJUICE,

Isabella Esler and Madison Mosley alternating as “Lydia Deetz”,

Will Burton as “Adam Maitland”

Megan McGinnis as “Barbara Maitland”,

Jenni Barber as “Delia Deetz”,

Jesse Sharp as “Charles Deetz”,

Travis Mitchell as “Maxie Dean”,

Sharone Sayegh in the dual roles of “Maxine Dean” and “Juno”,

Patrick Oliver Jones as “Otho”,

and

Emilia Tagliani as “Skye, The Girl Scout”.

The show also went on to haunt audiences globally including…. Australia, Asia, and currently in London’s West End at the Prince Edwards Theatre, where it will run till January 2027.

HOWDY, BROADWAY FANS!!! New York's MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET is only 28 days away till the 100th Anniversary celebration of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, kicking off the holiday season. We have more legendary Broadway favorite performances coming your way on our TOP 30 BROADWAY AT MACY'S COUNTDOWN. Are you ready for another FANTASTICAL show?

At # 28 on our countdown, we take a trip to a H***Y TONK town in Tennessee in the 1950's during a time of segregation and the birth of Rock N' Roll. In this town, we meet a White DJ attempting to get an aspiring Black nightclub singer’s voice on the radio. At the time, the duo’s relationship leads to complication during the time of segregation. All we gotta say is welcome to….. Memphis. Loosely inspired by the story of Dewey Phillips, it features an original score by Bon Jovi keyboard player David Bryan along with additional lyrics and a book by Joe DiPietro.

From the 2010 telecast, Tony nominees Chad Kimball as "Huey Calhoun" and Montego Glover as “Felicia Farrell”, along with Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart as “Bobby”, J. Bernard Calloway as “Delray”, Derek Baskin as “Gator”, and the original Broadway cast blast the tunes out to Herald Square, as they perform the show’s finale anthem STEAL YOUR ROCK N’ ROLL!!

MEMPHIS originally was developed through multiple regional workshops for multiple years. It was first put up during the 2003-2004 season at the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, Massachusetts and TheaterWorks in Mountain View, California.

The epic test would be for its world premiere run in 2008 at the La Jolla Playhouse in La Jolla, California and then later played The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, Washington in 2009.

Both engagements earned enthusiastic reviews from audiences. But there was mixed reception on the story. A common critique in those initial reviews was the pacing. The first act was frequently lauded as high-flying, thrilling musical theater that caught audiences by surprise, whereas the second act lagged, felt structurally unbalanced, and needed substantial script rewrites before moving on. The score itself was praised but some felt some felt some numbers and plot points were derivative of earlier soul musicals such as Dreamgirls.

The team went through various tweaks in between the 2 productions before preparing to hit the Big Apple. Not before long, MEMPHIS officially arrived on Broadway in the Fall of 2009 playing the Shubert Theatre.

Reviews were mixed still with the key bits of the plot but the powerful voices and high energy choreography was what make the musical soar.

The show would go on to rock Broadway for 3 YEARS, lasting 30 PREVIEWS and 1,165 REGULAR PERFORMANCES.

Under the direction of Tony winner Christopher Ashley and choreographed by Tony winner Sergio Trujillo, the cast was led by.....

Tony nominee Chad Kimball (later Adam Pascal) as "Huey Calhoun",

Tony nominee Montego Glover as "Felicia Farrall",

J. Bernard Calloway (later Christopher Jackson) as "Delray",

Derrick Baskin as "Gator",

Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart as "Bobby",

Cass Morgan (later Nancy Opel) as "Mama Gladys Calhoun",

and Tony winner Michael McGrath (later John Jellison) as "Mr. Simmons".

The show went on to receive 8 Tony Awards nominations in 2010 winning 4 consisting of….

BEST MUSICAL,

BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL (for Joe DiPietro),

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (for David Bryan and Joe DiPietro),

&

BEST ORCHESTRATIONS (for Daryl Waters and David Bryan).

It also won glory at the Drama Desk Awards as OUTSTANDING MUSICAL.

The original production on Broadway would also be filmed for proshot, which was released in Movie Theaters. Today, it’s available on DVD and can be watched on BroadwayHD as well. The filmed performance stars the entire original cast live from the stage of the Shubert Theatre.

Following the success of Broadway, MEMPHIS went on to become a worldwide hit across America, in London's West End (where it won 2 Olivier Awards), Australia, and more. It's currently also being done in High Schools and Regional Theaters everywhere.

No word was made if the musical will be revived anytime. But, there is hope once again to hear THE MUSIC OF OUR SOUL.

Doesn't this musical make you want to yell HOCKADOO?!!!!!!
