Round The Bend Now & Then 

Round The Bend Now & Then: Rum Village & Storyland Zoo

He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to South Bend. 

It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!

 

Brittney had the chance to speak with one of the stars, Dan Mason who portrays Maxie Dean! 

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:

Friday, June 19, 2026  7:30 p.m.

Saturday, June 20, 2026 2:00 & 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, June 21, 2026  2:00 & 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available for purchase at BroadwayInSouthBend.com, MorrisCenter.org and Etix.com.
