Beetlejuice The Musical description
The long-awaited Beetlejuice The Musical is coming to the capital at last!
Literally years of waiting finally ended when Beetlejuice The Musical's West End run was confirmed. Whether you've seen the brilliant 1998 Tim Burton movie it's based on or not, you'll fall in love with this wonderfully quirky story.
Directed by the two time Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Just in Time), the plot follows the grieving teen Lydia, whose mum has died. Her neglectful dad has found a new girlfriend and the family is moving on to a new home, but there are more than three people 'living' in this weird old place. When the ghosts of the previous inhabitants turn up and try to haunt the family, they fail miserably. Then the mischievous bio-exorcist ghost Beetlejuice turns up to help Lydia, they become friends, and things quickly start to get very strange indeed.
This musical has delighted audiences in South Korea, Norway, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Poland, the Czech Republic, and more. It originally opened on Broadway in April 2019, nominated for eight Tony Awards. Then it closed for Covid. Re-opening on Broadway in April 2022 before going on a tour of the USA, it's fantastic to see it back in London.
Music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect and book by Scott Brown and Anthony King join musical direction, orchestrations and incidental music by Kris Kukul, choreography by Connor Gallagher (The Robber Bridegroom), set design by David Korins, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, sound design by Peter Hylenski, projection design from Peter Nigrini, and puppet design from Michael Curry in an all-star creative team.
Beetlejuice The Musical tickets are all about outrageous comedy, dazzling design, and a cult classic plot, combining to give you an experience to remember.
