As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Beetlejuice: The Musical will make its West End debut at London's Prince Edward Theatre, with performances beginning in May 2026. Now, the dates have been set for the upcoming run.
Performances in the West End will begin on 20 May 2026, with tickets on general sale from 30 October 2025. A fan pre-sale will take place from 28 October. Casting for the show will be announced at a later date.
The London production will bring back the Broadway creative team, featuring a Book by Scott Brown and Anthony King with Music and Lyrics by Eddie Perfect and will be directed by two-time Tony Award winner Alex Timbers.
Based on Tim Burton's beloved movie classic, this wildly funny - and weirdly life-affirming – 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. He's dead trouble, but if you really want to feel alive, just say his name three times…
