Beetlejuice The Musical to open at London’s Prince Edward Theatre

The smash-hit Broadway production of Beetlejuice The Musical is coming to London!

After years of speculation, producers of the show have announced that Beetlejuice The Musical will open at the West End’s Prince Edward Theatre in London in May 2026.

The show will follow MJ The Musical, which concludes its run at the theatre on 28 February 2025.

Based on Tim Burton’s much-loved 1988 film starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, Beetlejuice has a book by Scott Brown and Emmy Award nominee Anthony King (Broad City), music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect, and musical direction, orchestrations and incidental music by Kris Kukul.

Directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Just in Time), the musical follows gothic teen Lydia Deetz, a recently deceased couple, and a flamboyant demon who’s more than fond of black‑and‑white stripes.

Burton’s beloved cult-classic film starred Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, along with Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O’Hara, and Winona Ryder.
