Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice is a London staging of the Broadway musical adapted from Tim Burton's film, presented at the Prince Edward Theatre for a limited season. It is a stage version of a story set between the living and the dead.

Beetlejuice is a musical adapted from Tim Burton's 1988 film of the same name, and this production comes to London after its Broadway run. David Fynn, an Olivier nominee whose credits include School of Rock, plays the title role of the demonic ghost. Hannah Nordberg, seen in HBO's Euphoria, takes the role of Lydia.

The story follows Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager who shares her home with a pair of newly dead ghosts and Beetlejuice, who causes considerable trouble. The plot turns on a simple ritual: saying the ghost's name three times. Critics have singled out the production's sets and songs, which are central to its staging.

The show suits audiences who enjoy Burton's film and musical theatre more broadly, and its tone combines comedy with a life-affirming message. The Prince Edward Theatre is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and this production is part of its current programme.
