In an official statement, Jesse shares, "I've been in tons of shows before but I can't help being a bit nervous headlining a full-fledged Broadway musical. Add to that the fact that Beetlejuice is such an iconic role, and I really want to make sure I do both the character and these songs adequate justice. My ultimate goal is, with the rest of the cast and staff, to create something so funny it will make us laugh so hard we’ll cry. I hope the audience will love it too... I can’t wait to start rehearsals!"
This comes as Jesse's return to the theatre stage for the first time since 2021, where he starred in the production of Standing Ovation.
