Alex Newell was born on August 20, 1992 in Lynn, Massachusetts. They attended Kipp Lynn Academy and later the Bishop Fenwick High School, where he graduated in 2012. Growing up, Newell was a valued member of both their school's and church's choirs.

Newell's big break&nbsp;came as they were accepted to compete on The Glee Project casting show to win a role on the hit musical TV series Glee. Although he finished second on the show, the show's producers granted them two episodes as Unique Adams, a transgender student, in 2012. Fans of the show were so enamored with the character of Unique that Newell was invited back to Glee for a full-time or recurring role from the fourth season onwards. Between 2012 and 2015, Newell appeared in a total of 43 episodes of Glee.

Newell later starred as Mo on *Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist* and released an EP, *Power*. They then built a successful Broadway career, making their debut as Asaka in the 2018 Broadway revival of *Once on This Island*.

For their role in *Shucked*, Newell won the 2023 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, becoming one of the first openly non-binary performers to win a Tony Award. They were later named the 2023 Time Breakthrough Person of the Year.

Newell went on to play Matron "Mama" Morton in [*Chicago*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/22-chicago-tickets) on Broadway and Rona Lisa Peretti in [*The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/44388-the-25th-annual-putnam-county-spelling-bee) off Broadway in 2026.

The **New York City Center** is one of the most influential performing arts venues in New York City. Located at 131 West 55th Street in Manhattan, it serves as a beacon for enthusiasts of dance, music, and theater. The Center was established in 1943 and has since played host to numerous notable productions, resonating with the key artistic transitions that have marked the evolution of performance art in the heartland of the greatest city in the world.

Emerging from its humble beginnings as an alternative center for artists who couldn't afford Broadway, the Center has turned into a reputable institution that neither compromises on its values nor its commitment to delivering the highest quality of artistic productions. Special mention goes to their yearly Fall for Dance festival, an exciting event that showcases the arts performances from international dance companies and uniquely affordable tickets.

The architecture of the theater itself is striking, boasting a distinctive neo-Moorish design and luxurious interiors that enhance the overall experience of the performances. With a seating capacity of 2,257, the Center is the perfect midpoint between intimacy and scale.

**Getting There**

The New York City Center is easily accessible by public transportation. The closest subway stops are 57th Street - 7th Avenue (N/Q/R/W), 57th Street (F), and 55th Street - 7th Avenue (B/D/E).

New York City Center

Architect Harry P. Knowles designed New York City Center, which was built by Clinton and Russell in 1923 for the Shriners under the name of The Mecca Temple. Amid the financial crash of 1929, the building became city property after the Shriners were unable to keep up with tax payments.

Former Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and New York City Council President Newbold Morris decided to convert the temple into Manhattan’s first performing arts center. The building opened as a theatre in December 1943.

New York City Center is known for its annual Encores! productions since 1994, which restage seldom revived American musicals in concert or semi-staged incarnations. The venue received a Tony Award for Excellence in Theatre in 2000.

Since its launch, New York City Center has become one of the city’s prime venues for dance.

In addition to the 2,557-seat mainstage, the facility houses two smaller theatres — Stage I and Stage II, where Manhattan Theatre Club has hosted its Off-Broadway productions since 1984 — and four studios.

Beetlejuice may be stuck in the same house for eternity, but the *Beetlejuice* musical has traveled far. Before coming to Broadway, the show premiered at Washington, D.C.'s National Theatre. It closed in NYC in March 2020, but the *Beetlejuice* cast and creative team took to social media to keep promoting the show, holding virtual costume contests, meet-and-greets, and more. The fan response was so overwhelming that *Beetlejuice* came back in April 2022.

*Beetlejuice*'s first NYC run marked the Broadway debuts of book writers Scott Brown and Anthony King. Neither are new to theatre, though: Brown is a former theatre critic for New York magazine, and King is the former artistic director of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. Their *Beetlejuice* collaborator, composer/lyricist Eddie Perfect, had just debuted on Broadway with *King Kong* in November 2018, making *Beetlejuice* his second show in one Broadway season.

Perfect began writing songs for *Beetlejuice* in 2014, and a companion album to the show's cast recording, *Beetlejuice: The Demos The Demos The Demos*, features a ton of songs that didn't make it into the final cut of *Beetlejuice* on Broadway. Director Alex Timbers, who staged the Tony-winning *Moulin Rouge! The Musical*, has also been attached to *Beetlejuice* since the beginning.

## What to watch for

- The *Beetlejuice* set contains homages to Tim Burton. The gravestones in the opening scene all bear the names of other Burton film characters, and they sit on hills sculpted to resemble the Claymation animation style of *The Nightmare Before Christmas*.
- *Beetlejuice* also contains references to Golden Age Broadway musicals like *Hello, Dolly!* and *Brigadoon*.
- Brightman, and the other actors that play *Beetlejuice*, use a special vocal technique called ventricular fold phonation. It lets them sing and speak in the character's gravelly voice for long periods of time without damaging their vocal cords.
- The title character’s name is actually spelled Betelgeuse after the star in the Orion constellation, but for advertising purposes for the original film, *Beetlejuice* was spelled phonetically.
- The *Beetlejuice* musical gained lots of its fans by going viral on social media. It all started when the cast posted videos from backstage, doing trendy TikTok dances in costume.
- Multiple stars of the original *Beetlejuice* movie have come to see the show, including Geena Davis (who played Barbara) and Catherine O'Hara (who played Delia). They both loved it!

Beetlejuice on Broadway [14894] - TodayTix

It’s showtime! The *Beetlejuice* Broadway musical has been resurrected once more at the Palace Theatre in 2025.

Based on the cult classic 1988 film by Tim Burton, the *Beetlejuice* musical follows the chaotic title poltergeist, a death-obsessed teenager named Lydia, and a newly dead suburban couple who team up for hilariously haunting antics. The show even throws in a couple of signature tunes from the original movie for good measure: “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” and “Jump in the Line (Shake, Señora),” both made famous by Jamaican American icon Harry Belafonte.

Under the direction of two-time Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers, *Beetlejuice* promises more ghoulish fun and frights than you could possibly imagine (and the biggest sandworm Broadway has ever seen). The scenic design by David Korins is a stunningly macabre tribute to Burton himself, and the production overflows with special effects by Jeremy Chernick and illusions by Michael Weber that are as jaw-dropping as they are heart-stopping.   

The world premiere pre-Broadway engagement of *Beetlejuice* was staged at the National Theatre in Washington D.C. from October 14 to November 18, 2018. The first performances of *Beetlejuice* in New York began in March 2019, and the show got eight Tony nominations, including Best Musical.

Are you ready to meet Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice?

Death is just the start of the fun at *Beetlejuice*, a musical adaptation of Tim Burton's film about the unlikely and frightfully fun alliance between a demon ghost, a death-obsessed teen, and a newly dead couple. The Broadway show keeps the movie's spooky vibe and adds lots more chills, thrills, and jaw-dropping stage antics that will make you die of laughter.
