Beetlejuice began life as a cult classic directed by Tim Burton, starring Michael Keaton as the unforgettable troublemaking demon, along with Alec Baldwin, Winona Ryder, and, of course, the late, great Catherine O'Hara.
Known for its dark comedy, gothic visuals and bizarre supernatural world, the film became a pop-culture favourite. Decades later, the story was transformed into Beetlejuice The Musical, a stage spectacular packed with songs, outrageous comedy and theatrical magic, bringing Burton’s mischievous spirit to live audiences in London and beyond.
Beetlejuice The Musical follows Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager struggling with grief after the loss of her mother. When Lydia, her father and stepmother move into a haunted house, Lydia encounters the recently deceased couple Adam and Barbara Maitland, who are desperate to scare away the living and get their house back.
Unfortunately for them, another spirit is lurking nearby: Beetlejuice, a chaotic demon who specialises in causing trouble for both the living and the dead. Spotting Lydia as his ticket back to the land of the living, Beetlejuice hatches increasingly outrageous schemes that unleash supernatural chaos.
Packed with the iconic Beetlejuice characters we know and love, hilarious one-liners and plenty of otherworldly mayhem, the story is a hilarious adventure about grief, family and embracing life; even when the afterlife keeps getting in the way. Arriving in London after multiple Broadway runs and U.S. national tours, it’s the perfect blend of comedy, chaos and your fave undead characters.
If you love big musicals with attitude, spectacle and plenty of mischief, Beetlejuice the Musical in the West End is a must-see.

In the story, Beetlejuice sees Lydia as his chance to return to the world of the living. Because she can see and communicate with ghosts, he tries to manipulate her into saying his name three times — which would allow him to escape the afterlife.
