◆ Latest milestone

UpdateMay 1992#

Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue took over the vacated San Francisco theater in May 1992 and ran there until January 5, 2016.

The May date comes from the successor article's infobox (opened2 = May 1992); its prose says only 1992, hence medium confidence. The January 5, 2016 end date is independently corroborated by the Universal Studios Florida park timeline. The successor also ran under the titles Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue and Beetlejuice's Graveyard Mash-Up.

Refurbishment1992#

An American Tail Theatre closed permanently at Universal Studios Florida in 1992.

Year precision only; no source gives a final performance date. Wikipedia attributes the closure to low attendance citing James C. Clark, Lost Attractions of Florida (Arcadia, 2023), p. 81, but that page could not be opened, so the attribution is not carried here. The Universal Studios Hollywood version of the show continued until 1997 and is a separate record.
