OTHER

Beetlejuice, a malevolent spirit masquerading as a guide to the Netherworld meets the Maitlands, a recently deceased couple learning the ropes of haunting their own home. But when angst-ridden Lydia Deetz moves into the Maitland house with her family, Beetlejuice launches a havoc-wrecking quest that forces the Maitlands to confront what it means to be fully dead and Lydia to confront what it means to be fully alive.

BREAKDOWN

SEEKING:

[BEETLEJUICE] ageless conman, somewhere between 12 and 12,000, maturity-wise. Beetlejuice was born dead and is deeply lonely, but his problem is that he’s invisible to living people. He wants nothing more than a chance to experience life, and he has a plan! Beetlejuice is more than a little A.D.D. in his excitement; a motormouth who mimics human emotion and has zero understanding of personal boundaries. Strategic and cagy and wildly dangerous in his pursuit, Beetlejuice meets his match in Lydia. He is relentlessly positive in the face of never-ending obstacles on his journey to becoming alive. Bold, physical, comedic. Excellent singer. Any ethnicity.

[LYDIA] (18+ to play late teens), Dark, smart, and moody, with a jet black sense of humor and a streak of anarchy, Lydia's a step ahead of almost everyone she meets, living or dead, but she's at the mercy of a mania, just like Beetlejuice. Lydia wants life to mean something. The world seems small to Lydia since her mother died; she longs for it to reveal itself as something more fantastical than it is. Heart-forward, and on a quest to find a reason to live. Dry & comedic. Great rock belt/mix voice. Any ethnicity.

[BARBARA] mid 30s, is a mouse that didn't roar. Which doesn't mean she can't. Sweetly neurotic, devoted to her carefully-curated house and her careful curator of a house-husband, Barbara is positive, affirming, and unfailingly kind. She and Adam strenuously protect each other while inadvertently holding each other back. Barbara has a fierce heart and a heroic mother-bear instinct. Deft, subtly comic, and disarmingly honest. Any ethnicity. Great Pop/Musical Theater voice with a strong mix.

[ADAM] mid 30s, Adam is one of those “nice guys” who only have two problems: Can’t seem to get anything started, can’t seem to get anything finished. A putterer-craftsman, Adam adores his wife Barbara and the cozy, cloistered, slightly claustrophobic, conspicuously childless life they’ve built together. What Adam doesn’t realize is: That fastidiously unfinished life of his is nearly finished. Any ethnicity. Great baritenor/tenor.

[CHARLES] late 40s/early 50s, is a mini-mogul who needs to control life's chaos to feel safe. And yet, not far beneath his diamond-hard surface, he feels constantly out of control. In the wake of losing his wife, he refuses to look back as he attempts to rebuild the world for himself and his daughter. Charles is a master-class in blustery overcompensation and strict compartmentalization, but below the surface there is a softness and vulnerability he is afraid to let out. Any ethnicity. Sings some.

[DELIA] 30s-40s, ditzy yet ambitious, Delia is unfailingly positive, and always looking for a silver lining, even when nobody’s asking for one. Delia is a searcher, longing for a place to belong, and under her optimistic surface there are demons she keeps at bay (most of the time). She’s never faced anyone as smart and cutting as Lydia before, but sees that Lydia is struggling and feels she has a lot to give. Any ethnicity. Excellent singer with a strong pop/belt/mix.
