00:00My name is Elise McCann, but I play Barbara Maitland, and the Maitlands are a very lovely
00:27family who live in Connecticut, and we sadly die in the first eight minutes of the show.
00:32So the rest of the show, I am a ghost, but I learn to find more life through the process
00:41of death, so it's very fun.
00:43And I'm Andy Carl, and I play Beetlejuice.
00:47Yes, I have to use this voice the whole time, so get used to it.
00:51Say it three times, it's even better.
00:54I'm going to host you through the entire show.
00:56We're going to have a lot of fun.
00:57We're going to be making fun of the Maitlands over here.
01:00We're going to be doing a lot of crazy stuff and going into the netherworld wearing black
01:05nails and rotting sandworms.
01:07It's going to be amazing.
01:09Everybody gets on fire here like Roger's heart and Hammerstein here.
01:14What we love about Abu Dhabi is its sensational audience.
01:20They've embraced musical theater.
01:22They love quality.
01:23They love great storytelling.
01:25Beetlejuice is a great story.
01:27It's a great piece of theater based on Tim Burton's iconic film.
01:31It's been transitioned to the stage with an incredible score by composer and lyricist Eddie
01:36Perfect.
01:37Well, look, what I think makes Beetlejuice so unique is that it is a musical comedy.
01:43So it brings all of those humorous elements to life on stage.
01:46But what Beetlejuice is a musical theater piece does very well is wrap around all of the theatrical
01:53magic.
01:54So you've got live sandworms coming to life on stage.
01:58You've got clones of Beetlejuice coming to life on stage.
02:01It really is spectacular.
02:04Yeah, I know you're woke, but you can take a joke here.
02:07I think the great thing about Beetlejuice is that it's while it's on, you know, from the
02:11outside, you feel like it's a horror movie, but it's also there's like layers to it.
02:14There's comedy.
02:15There's like a family heartwarming moments to it.
02:17And in general, it's like one of the leading, award-winning productions.
02:21Bringing it here is a very strong testament to Yas Island and At-Tahadari and Abu Dhabi
02:26in general, that we are capable of hosting and attracting all of these international world-class
02:31Broadway musicals.
02:32So take a little break here.
02:35It's kind of like a week here.
02:36The scenery is big here, but there's a giant snake here.
