About the show

Say his name three times! Tim Burton's supernatural Broadway smash finally haunts the West End at Prince Edward Theatre from May 2026. Book Beetlejuice tickets for the London premiere of this Tony-nominated musical comedy phenomenon.

What is Beetlejuice the Musical about?

Beetlejuice the Musical brings Tim Burton's beloved 1988 cult film to spectacular theatrical life at the Prince Edward Theatre. When Gothic teenager Lydia Deetz moves into a new home with her father and stepmother, she discovers the house is already occupied, by recently deceased couple Adam and Barbara Maitland. Enter Beetlejuice, the crude, chaotic, and wildly unpredictable demon, summoned to help evict the living but with his own agenda of escaping the afterlife entirely.

With a gleefully irreverent book by Scott Brown and Anthony King, and brilliantly catchy music and lyrics by Australian comedian Eddie Perfect, Beetlejuice transforms death into a celebration of life. The score features showstoppers including "The Whole Being Dead Thing," "Say My Name," and "Dead Mom." This Tony Award-nominated musical earned eight nominations in 2019 and has since become a worldwide phenomenon across Broadway, international tours, and now London's West End.

Why should I book Beetlejuice tickets in London?

Director Alex Timbers, two-time Tony Award winner for Moulin Rouge! The Musical, brings his signature theatrical imagination to this West End premiere. David Korins' jaw-dropping scenic design transforms the Prince Edward Theatre stage into a world where the living and dead collide, from the Deetz family's bizarre home to the bureaucratic chaos of the Netherworld. Expect mind-bending special effects, supernatural stagecraft, and puppetry that brings the iconic sandworm to terrifying life.

Beetlejuice tickets London offer fans the chance to experience one of Broadway's biggest hits in the heart of the West End. The production features choreography by Connor Gallagher, stunning costumes by William Ivey Long, and Kenneth Posner's atmospheric lighting design. Book Beetlejuice West End tickets early, this limited engagement is sure to sell fast!

What are the best seats for Beetlejuice at Prince Edward Theatre?

For the full Beetlejuice experience, Stalls seats offer excellent views of the spectacular scenic effects and puppetry. The Royal Circle provides a great perspective for the show's elaborate production design.

Is Beetlejuice similar to other West End musicals?
