- Program Note from publisher
Tim Burton's second directorial blockbuster, Beetlejuice, opened in 1988 to rave reviews and impressive box office success. The movie even led to an animated television series, along with theme park attractions.
As in all iconic big-screen productions, music plays a key role. Danny Elfman's imaginative score captures the essence of the script while carrying the adventures of the Maitlands in their new 'life,' dodging the wily ways of the crazed 'bio-exorcist' Beetlejuice, brilliantly played by Michael Keaton.
This arrangement highlights themes from the main title of the film, full of all the fun and instrumental color of the original, but written to flatter performances by young players.
