Fall season? Yes. Hurricane season? Afraid so. Thank goodness it’s also Broadway season here in SoFlo as national tours have highly touted stops in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

‘Beetlejuice’ — Dec. 19-24
Tickets: $44-$124
This Broadway-tized take on director Tim Burton’s hit 1988 movie is essentially the same story: A ghost couple try to rid their home of obnoxious new inhabitants by being spooky. When that fails, they enlist the far more experienced Beetlejuice for a little horror-help.

‘The Book of Mormon’ — Dec. 12-17
Tickets: $44-$150
The profane and satiric musical comedy came from the minds of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, of the five-time Emmy Award-winning animated series “South Park,” as well as Tony Award-winning composer Robert Lopez, of the musical-comedy “Avenue Q.” The winner of nine Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Musical, the show follows two Mormon missionaries and their misadventures while trying to spread their faith to a village in war-torn and impoverished Uganda. One has a crisis of faith, and the other refashions the liturgy with dashes of pop culture to win over converts.
