Beetlejuice London – West End tickets

The underworld steps into the spotlight in London's West End, with Beetlejuice the Musical now showing at the Prince Edward Theatre. This smash-hit Broadway production, based on Tim Burton’s cult film of the same name, is already haunting London theatre fans in the best possible way. 

Get ready for a musical packed with outrageous humour, larger-than-life characters and plenty of supernatural surprises. At its heart is Lydia Deetz, the strange and unusual teen who becomes fascinated by a certain ghost from six feet under – none other than Beetlejuice himself. 

What is the plot of Beetlejuice? 

Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice... The third time's the charm! 

After Lydia Deetz and her family move into an old mansion, the previous owners, Barbara and Adam Maitland, return from the afterlife. They attempt to scare the Deetzes away by enlisting the help of the creepy poltergeist Betelgeuse to haunt them. However, things do not go according to plan.  

Beetlejuice, a creature who particularly likes to wear stripes, seems to have an agenda of his own when he turns into a snake and terrorises the Deetzes. While the adults cannot see the ghostly couple, goth teen Lydia can, and they bond over their dislike of her parents. This gives Lydia the perfect opportunity to explore her passion for the obscure and supernatural worlds. Determined to save the Maitlands at any cost, Lydia promises to marry Beetlejuice so that he can remain and terrorise the mortal world. 

What follows is a whirlwind of dark humour and catchy tunes in this uproarious musical celebrating family and love amid chaos and madness.
