Beetlejuice The Musical Tickets London

Michael Cassel Group (& Juliet, Mary Poppins) and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures have announced that hit Broadway musical Beetlejuice is coming to Melbourne Australia. The show will play a limited season in Melbourne at the Regent Theatre from April 2025. The eight-time Tony Award-nominated musical has a score by Australian composer Eddie Perfect, and is based on Tim Burton’s much-loved movie. The show also has a book by Scott Brown and Emmy Award nominee Anthony King (Broad City), and orchestrations and incidental music by Kris Kukul. Beetlejuice tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon with a thing for stripes. When Lydia calls on this ghost-with-the-most to scare away her insufferable parents, Beetlejuice comes up with the perfect plan, that leads audiences into a (nether)world of pandemonium. Beetlejuice closed on Broadway in January this year, having played 679 performances, directed by Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical). The show has also been long rumoured to be coming to London's West End, but there's still no news on dates or venue. Hopefully the announcement of an Australian run for the show means London is closer than ever. Michael Cassel, the Australian producer of the show, said in a press statement: “This wickedly funny show is at the top of so many Aussie music theatre fans’ wish list to play here and we are delighted to bring it to its natural home – the Regent Theatre – where audiences will be transported to the netherworld for a night they will never forget. The fan support for Beetlejuice resonated around the world and we can’t wait to see how fans respond to it here.” More about Beetlejuice The Musical

Broadway’s smash-hit production of Beetlejuice The Musical is rumoured to be heading to London’s West End - but with producers remaining tight lipped on the London run here’s what we know so far. What is Beetlejuice The Musical about? Based on Tim Burton’s 1988 wonderfully demented film, Beetlejuice The Musical follows Lydia Deetz -  a strange and unusual teenager whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets the former owners of her house - who just happen to be dead - and a degenerate demon from the Netherworld.  When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away her insufferable parents, he comes up with the perfect plan that involves exorcism, arranged marriages and an adorable girl scout who gets scared out of her wits.  Under its uproarious surface, this hilarious musical comedy is a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every day. When will Beetlejuice The Musical open in London? No official announcement has been made by producers, however rumour suggests Beetlejuice The Musical may open in London in 2024. The show had been tipped to open in London in 2022, however covid has delayed numerous Broadway to West End transfers. What theatre will Beetlejuice The Musical play in London? With no official announcement on the run it’s impossible to confirm where Beetlejuice The Musical will land. Any new show always sees the closure of the one and demand for London theatre's is currently at a premium. It would be great at one of the larger theatre venues like the Dominion Theatre (2069 seats), the Prince Edward Theatre (1622 seats) or the Adelphi Theatre (1500), however it would probably land at one of the smaller venues like the Shaftesbury Theatre (1305 seats), Phoenix Theatre (1012), Gillian Lynne Theatre (1102), Savoy Theatre (1158) or even the Garrick Theatre (700 seats).

Beetlebabes are in mourning. Big Broadway show Beetlejuice The Musical is to end its run at the Marquis Theater in New York. The show closes on 8 January 2023. Based on the 1988 cult movie, the show has struggled on Broadway, opening in 2019 but with a weak box-office it was asked to leave the Winter Garden Theater. That led to a social media backlash and rallying by fans, but then Covid hit. It eventually reopened in April 2022 at the Marquis Theater and its been doing well, but clearly not well enough for the theatre owners and producers. It will have ended up doing 679 performances across its run. It's still unclear whether Beetlejuice The Musical will get a London transfer and a West End run, but there are no shortage of UK-based fans who want this to happen. The news comes hot on the heels of the announcement that The Phantom of the Opera is closing on Broadway. Plus Dear Evan Hansen said goodbye last week, and Come From Away is leaving Broadway next month.
