Crossroads Live<\/a> and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures<\/a> will hold open auditions for the role of Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice<\/a>: The Musical.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfad NEW! UK Theatre Newsletter<\/p>\n Dark, smart and moody, with a jet-black sense of humour and a streak of anarchy, Lydia’s a step ahead of almost everyone she meets \u2013 living or dead. But she’s at the mercy of a mania, just like Beetlejuice<\/a>. Lydia wants life to mean something. The world seems small to her since her mother died; she longs for it to reveal itself as something more fantastical than it is. She’s heart-forward, and on a quest to find a reason to live.\u00a0<\/p>\n Producers are looking for a female-presenting actor, playing age – late teens (16 -18), no taller than 5’4″ and of any appearance. So don\u2019t miss your chance to hang out with the baddest bio-exorcist in town, in the most anticipated Broadway transfer of recent years. The open call will be held on Thursday 22nd January, 10am \u2013 6pm at a central London location.<\/p>\n If this could be you, then there\u2019s no need to consult the Handbook For The Recently Deceased. For more information and to register your interest, please visit www.harryblumenau.com\/beetlejuice<\/a><\/p>\n Following three smash hit Broadway hauntings, Beetlejuice<\/a> crosses the pond this year, making its West End debut at London\u2019s Prince Edward Theatre<\/a>, a Delfont Mackintosh Theatre, where it plays a strictly limited run from Wednesday 20 May, 2026 \u2013 Saturday 17 April, 2027.<\/p>\n Based on Tim Burton<\/a>\u2019s beloved movie classic, this wildly funny – and weirdly life-affirming \u2013 musical tells the tale of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager sharing her home with a pair of newly-deads and the demonic ghost-with-the-most, Beetlejuice<\/a>. He\u2019s dead trouble, but if you really want to feel alive, just say his name three times\u2026<\/p>\n The West End production resurrects its otherworldly Broadway creative team, featuring a Book by Scott Brown<\/a> and Anthony King<\/a> with Music and Lyrics by Eddie Perfect<\/a> and will be directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers<\/a> (Moulin Rouge! The Musical).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud83c\udfad NEW! UK Theatre Newsletter Get all the top news & discounts for UK & beyond.
