Broadway's Beetlejuice has cancelled its July 21 performance due to limited COVID cases within the company. The announcement, made via Twitter, shares that the musical is scheduled to resume performances July 22.

The production has previously dealt with COVID cases within the company, including when Tony nominee Alex Brightman, starring as the title poltergeist, tested positive in May.

Ticketholders are advised to reach out to their point-of-purchase to refund or exchange their tickets for a future performance.

The show, based on Tim Burton’s cult favorite film, follows Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager grieving her deceased mother when she meets a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a sneaky demon with a thing for stripes. When Lydia asks Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, the double-crossing specter unleashes chaos and Lydia must find a way to put Beetlejuice back where he came from.
