Beetlejuice the Musical is (finally) coming to London!
The musical is opening at The Prince Edward Theatre in May 2026 following the closure of MJ the Musical. Rumours have been circulating the West End for some time as to when this musical will transfer from Broadway. We’re delighted to see it happening!
The musical is based on Tim Burton’s movie classic which tells the tale of Lydia Deetz. Lydia is a strange and unusual teenager sharing her home with a pair of newly-deads and the demonic ghost-with-the-most, Beetlejuice. He’s dead trouble, but if you really want to feel alive, just say his name three times…
Beetlejuice the Musical in London is resurrecting the Broadway Creative Team which features a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King. The music and lyrics are by Eddie Perfect. Lastly, it will be directed by two-time Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!).
Beetlejuice The Musical is produced in the UK by Crossroads Live and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
Producer from Crossroads Live, James Lane, says of the transfer:
“We are beyond thrilled to be working alongside Warner Bros. and the ingenious team behind Beetlejuice to bring this highly anticipated Broadway hit to London’s West End at last. There is nothing else quite like this show, and audiences really are in for a terrifyingly hilarious treat.”
“After three successful Broadway engagements, a record-setting 88-city North American tour, and captivating audiences across international stages in Tokyo, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, and Melbourne, Beetlejuice will finally arrive in the United Kingdom,” continue producers Mark Kaufman (Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures) and Kevin McCormick (Langley Park Productions). “We are thrilled Beetlejuice will soon make its debut in London’s West End with its signature wit and irreverence.”
