Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue

Beetlejuice's Graveyard Mash-Up (formerly known as Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue) or Beetlejuice's Rockin' Graveyard Revue or Universal Monsters Live Rock and Roll Show is a live stage show based on the film of the same name and Universal's Classic Monsters. It is located at Universal Studios Japan and formerly at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida. The venue at the Hollywood park was removed in 1999, and replaced by Spider-Man Rocks.

On August 25, 2015, Universal announced that the show at Universal Studios Florida would be "closing later this year" to make way for Fast & Furious: Supercharged. Loyal fans of the show have launched campaigns online and via social media to prevent its closure. In the first 48 hours, over 750 signatures were collected for an online petition. The show ultimately closed on January 5, 2016.

History
The attraction opened at both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood in 1992. The Florida venue replaced An American Tail Theatre which was opened at the park in 1991, and the Hollywood venue replaced The Adventures of Conan: A Sword and Sorcery Spectacular, which opened in the Castle Theater in 1983. It was once located in a small outdoor theater (where Super Silly Fun Land is currently occupied) before moving indoors in 1995.

The venue at Universal Studios Florida was refurbished in 1994, to include the addition of a canopy to block the sun. Since 2002, the show itself has undergone a number of revamps, when more modern songs and costumes were added. In addition, The Phantom of the Opera was replaced by Hip and Hop, Beetlejuice's Translyvanian cheerleaders.

In 2006, Universal revamped the show with a new opening, different songs (with the exception of I Will Survive and It's Raining Men), and slightly more adult themes, which earned it a PG-13 rating.

In late January 2014, Universal closed the show for another revamp, which opened to park-going audiences February 8, 2014, under the name, Beetlejuice's Graveyard Mash-Up. This version has a new opening and new songs. In addition, Hip and Hop are replaced by four silent ghosts, Phantasia, the Phantom of the Opera's daughter, and Cleopatra.

Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue was closed in Universal Studios Hollywood in 1999, replaced by Spider-Man Rocks, and in Universal Studios Florida on January 5, 2016, set to be replaced by Fast & Furious: Supercharged in 2018.

The show in Japan remains operating today, as Universal Monsters Live Rock and Roll Show.

Original Version
The show begins once everyone is seated. A mummified Beetlejuice opens up his coffin on the stage to tell the guests that he is "wrapped up", so he wants the guests to say his name three times. He closes the lid, and then fireworks burst from the top of it and Beetlejuice, in his striped suit, emerges from it. He goes on to mingle with guests and tell them what he has in store for them. Beetlejuice (here referred to as "BJ") looks for a park guest to join the show, and the Universal Monsters, The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, Wolfman and Bride of Frankenstein, then appear out of doors and corridors from the stage, and BJ directs guests to say his name three times, and the Universal Monsters are transformed into rock stars. The show continues through various other songs and dances with each monster singing their own song. At the end of the show, BJ has park guests cheer for all of the monsters, especially himself.

Beetlejuice's disembodied voice directs guests to say his name three times, then he arrives on stage.

The show continues as each Monster sings his/her own song, with Phantasia and Cleopatra providing vocal/dance back-up.
