This performance of Beetlejuice was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience. From banjo-breaking demons to spirit-eating sandworms, this musical had it all.
For a self-proclaimed show about death, it was able to masterfully layer humor and whimsy onto every scene without taking away from it's heavy themes. During the performance, a dazzling show of light served to bridge the gap between the audience and the stage.
Perfect choreography, superb singing and impeccable acting made this an experience to remember. Yet, Above all, the elaborate puppets were what really set this show apart, huge monsters with intricate patterns slithering through the set.
This is the type of musical you can watch a million times and love it all the more.

Why watch Beetlejuice?
- A wickedly funny burst of chaos, Beetlejuice brings Tim Burton’s 1988cult classic back from the dead, this time louder, stranger, and perfectly twisted for the stage.
- After haunting Broadway and bagging eight Tony nominations, the ghost-with-the-most now sets up shop in London under the eye of Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!), with a book by Scott Brown & Anthony King.
- Expect a delirious mix of big-budget stagecraft, jaw-dropping illusions, and goth-rock anthems by Eddie Perfect like “Say My Name” and “The Whole ‘Being Dead’ Thing.”
- Sandworms slither, ghosts sing, and the dearly departed dance, all inside Prince Edward Theatre. Book your tickets to the Beetlejuice musical in London now before it vanishes back into the Netherworld.
The musical version of Beetlejuice in London follows the story of teenage goth Lydia Deetz and the mischievous demon Beetlejuice, who refuses to stay dead. With a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King and music & lyrics by Eddie Perfect, the creative team brings Tim Burton’s cult film to the stage with flair. It opened on Broadway in 2019 and earned multiple nominations, including eight Tony Award nods. On the West End, forecasts anticipate the same wild visual energy, including sandworms, séances and inventive staging at the Prince Edward Theatre.
Storyline
In this mischievous musical, Lydia Deetz moves into a house with her father and soon finds it haunted by a recently deceased couple and the irrepressible ghost Beetlejuice. As Lydia struggles with her mother’s death and her own outsider identity, she summons the ghost-with-the-most for help, and chaos ensues. The soundtrack pulses with dark humour and theatrical flair, and the show keeps you wondering whether the living or the dead are really in control. The plot twist? You’ll have to see the show to find out.

The show was really great! We had a very good time and laughed a lot! We loved the stage design as well. The only negative thing was the super cold air condition below my feet. I wore a skirt and got ice legs.

It was my first musical but really enjoyed the performance, energy from start to finish. Absolutely made the right choice to pick Beetlejuice out of the many options available in the West End right now!

The show is really great. I went with my family—my two teenage sons—and we all loved it. The music, the dancing, the singing, and the whole production were fantastic. Highly recommended.
