About Beetlejuice The Musical
Beetlejuice is finally haunting the West End! The hit Broadway musical, based on Tim Burton’s 1988 cult classic is officially here! After three spellbinding Broadway runs, the mischievous ghost makes his London debut. The story follows Lydia, a teenager who befriends a recently deceased couple and unleashes the outrageous Beetlejuice with chaotic results. Packed with irreverent humour, ghoulish fun and a killer score, this limited London season promises a frightfully funny night out.
The Story Unfolds: Origins and Evolution
Based on Tim Burton’s 1988 cult classic film, Beetlejuice is a comedy-horror fantasy about life, death, and everything in between. The story centres on Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with the afterlife. When her family moves into a house haunted by its recently deceased former residents, Lydia finds herself drawn into the world of the dead—and into the chaos stirred up by the devious demon Beetlejuice.
Desperate to reclaim their home, the ghostly Maitlands enlist Beetlejuice’s help to scare the new owners away. But summoning the “ghost with the most” leads to mayhem, mischief, and a lot of laughs.
The original film, directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Geena Davis, became a huge critical and commercial success—grossing nearly $60 million and winning an Academy Award for Best Makeup. The musical adaptation premiered on Broadway in 2019 and was nominated for eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. With riotously fun numbers like “The Whole Being Dead Thing” and “Dead Mom,” Beetlejuice musical leans into its macabre roots while turning up the volume on humour and heart.
