It’s showtime, folks! The eight-time Tony Award®-nominated musical Beetlejuice will play a limited season, exclusively in Melbourne. With an original score by Australia's very own Eddie Perfect, get ready for "screamingly good fun" (Variety) at the Regent Theatre from May 2025. Beetlejuice is funnier, more irreverent, more reckless and, frankly, more repellent than ever in this original musical based on Tim Burton's dearly beloved film.
Beetlejuice tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon with a thing for stripes. When Lydia calls on this ghost-with-the-most to scare away her insufferable parents, Beetlejuice comes up with the perfect plan, which involves exorcism, an adorable girl scout who gets scared out of her wits and a whole (nether)world of pandemonium.
