SUMMARY:Grosse Pointe Theatre Presents Beetlejuice\, Jr. @ Parcells Middle School
DESCRIPTION:“It’s showtime!” The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR.\, the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager\, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia\, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice\, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse\, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes\, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.\n\nWith music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown\, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. This musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.\n\nCreated for the generation that made it a hit\, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!\n\nImage Source

SUMMARY:A Christmas Story: The Musical @ Fox Theatre
DESCRIPTION:From the songwriting team behind the smash hit Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen and the critically-acclaimed films La La Land and The Greatest Showman\, A Christmas Story\, The Musical\, brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life on stage for four performances at the Fox Theatre on Friday\, November 14 through Sunday\, November 16 as part of the 2025-26 Fox Theatre Series presented by Comerica Bank. \nA Christmas Story\, The Musical chronicles young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams\, an official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle (“You’ll shoot your eye out kid!”).  An infamous leg lamp\, outrageous pink bunny pajamas\, a maniacal department store Santa\, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Chock-full of delightful songs and splashy production numbers\, A Christmas Story\, The Musical\, has proudly taken its place as a perennial holiday classic for the whole family. \nHailed by The Associated Press as “a joyous Christmas miracle\,” The New York Times writes “I was dazzled. You’d have to have a Grinch-sized heart not to feel a smile spreading across your face.” A Christmas Story\, The Musical premiered on Broadway in 2012 and was a critical and commercial success. The musical was nominated for three TONY Awards® including Best New Musical\, Best Original Score\, and Best Book of a Musical. \nA Christmas Story\, The Musical features a festive and nostalgic holiday-themed score by composer/lyricist team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (TONY Award for Dear Evan Hansen\, OSCAR for La La Land\, GOLDEN GLOBE for The Greatest Showman)\, with a book by Joseph Robinette\, based on the writings of radio humorist Jean Shepherd and the 1983 holiday film favorite. The 2021 Big League tour\, originally directed by Matt Lenz\, will feature direction by Michael Rader\, with casting by Alison Franck. TONY Award® winner Warren Carlyle’s Broadway choreography will be reset for the tour by Jason A. Sparks. A Christmas Story\, The Musical features scenic design by Michael Carnahan\, lighting design by Charlie Morrison\, and musical supervision and direction by Andrew Smithson. \nA Christmas Story\, The Musical is produced by Big League Productions\, Inc. Led by President and Executive Producer Daniel Sher\, Big League is celebrating its 30th season of producing and general managing Broadway shows and attractions throughout the world. Highlights were collaborations with Disney on Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida (North America\, Taiwan\, and China) and with Cameron Mackintosh on a new production of Miss Saigon. Also\, US tours of the Tony®-Award winning Broadway revival of 42nd Street and Susan Stroman’s Broadway production of Meredith Willson’s The Music Man. Others: Footloose (Las Vegas\, USA)\, Titanic\, 1776\, Peter Pan\, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum starring Rip Taylor\, Blast!\, The Who’s Tommy (North America\, South America\, Europe\, and Japan)\, Ain’t Misbehavin’ with Ruben Studdard\, and the First National Tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – flying car and all. More recent: The Producers (Susan Stroman’s original work)\, Hello\, Dolly! with Sally Struthers\, Guys and Dolls\, My Fair Lady (US Tour and China premiere)\, original hip-hop dance show Groovaloo (Off-Broadway)\, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical (10 USA tours\, Grand Ole Opry\, and Madison Square Garden)\, Dreamgirls (US\, China premiere\, Japan)\, Hair (US and Japan)\, Bring it On (US and Japan)\, and Legally Blonde (US\, China premiere\, Singapore). In 2018-19\, A Chorus Line toured the USA and Japan before performing for the first time ever in China in 2019. In the post-pandemic 2021-22 season\, Big League will remount its acclaimed tour of An American in Paris\, premiere its new production of South Pacific\, and tour its flagship production of A Christmas Story\, The Musical for a seventh holiday season. Future tours include Legally Blonde\, Memphis and The Cher Show. For more information\, visit www.BigLeague.org. \nImage Source
