Metro Atlanta native shines in 'Beetlejuice'

''Beetlejuice'' has been summoned to the Fox Theatre as part the current Broadway in Atlanta season and one of the stars grew up right here in metro Atlanta.

Marietta’s Will Burton is hilariously haunting in "Beetlejuice": There have long been rumors that the Fox Theatre is haunted — and we can definitively say that next week, the famed venue will be filled with ghosts.

That’s because the national tour of the hit Broadway musical "Beetlejuice" will "possess" the historic Atlanta theater, with performances running from Tuesday, March 19 through Sunday, March 24. And before you ask — yes, the musical is an adaptation of the 1988 Tim Burton film, which starred Michael Keaton as the famed green-haired demon in a striped suit.

"Beetlejuice" opened on Broadway in 2019 and went on to score eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical. The current tour — coming to the Fox as part of the current Broadway in Atlanta season — stars Justin Collette as the title character, Isabella Esler as Lydia, and metro Atlanta’s own Will Burton as Adam. Burton is a Broadway vet — having appeared in shows including "Hello, Dolly!" and "Kiss Me, Kate!" — and grew up in Marietta; he’s a graduate of the Cobb County Center for Excellence in the Performing Arts at Pebblebrook High School.
