"Beetlejuice is pure theatrical adrenaline. The West End has been waiting for this for far too long."
He’s the ghost with the most - and he’s finally haunting the West End. Based on Tim Burton’s beloved 1988 film, Beetlejuice the Musical lands at the Prince Edward Theatre in a riotous, outrageous and surprisingly big-hearted production direct from Broadway, directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers with music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect.
When teenager Lydia Deetz moves into a creaky old house still occupied by its recently deceased owners, Adam and Barbara Maitland, she discovers she can see the dead - and unwittingly summons the demonic, anarchic, rule-breaking Beetlejuice. What follows is a wild ride through the Netherworld and back, packed with showstopping numbers, jaw-dropping design and gleefully bad behaviour.
Led by Olivier Award nominee David Fynn as the ghost-with-the-most and Hannah Nordberg as the strange and unusual Lydia, Beetlejuice is a maximalist, monstrously funny spectacle about life, death and the people we love. Say his name three times and book your tickets now.

- Direct from Broadway. Directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers, the production arrives with its jaw-dropping design and anarchic energy intact.
- A showstopping score. Eddie Perfect’s music and lyrics power numbers like Say My Name and That Beautiful Sound, by turns outrageous and surprisingly big-hearted.
