Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue
Universal Studios Florida · Hollywood
Overview
An outdoor stage show set in a graveyard-themed amphitheater in the Hollywood section of the park, where Beetlejuice hosted a rock concert featuring Universal's classic movie monsters — Frankenstein's Monster, the Bride, Dracula, and a Wolf Man — performing costumed musical numbers with pyrotechnics and comedic banter aimed squarely at families.
ParksLog verdict
A genuine cult favorite among longtime Universal regulars, remembered fondly for its campy energy and remarkable longevity. Few live shows at any theme park run for 24 years, and its closure in 2016 marked the end of an era for the Hollywood area's entertainment lineup.
