Hold on to your sandworms! Everyone’s favourite ghost-with-the-most, Beetlejuice, is finally crossing the pond. Following multiple smash-hit Broadway runs and a major US tour, Crossroads Live and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures are delighted to confirm that Beetlejuice: The Musical will make its West End debut at London’s Prince Edward Theatre, a Delfont Mackintosh Theatre, with performances beginning in May 2026.
The London production resurrects its otherworldly Broadway creative team, featuring a Book by Scott Brown and Anthony King withMusic and Lyrics by Eddie Perfect and will be directed by two-time Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Here Lies Love).
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…
With a gleefully irreverent book, head-spinning set design and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, Beetlejuice is a ‘feast for the eyes and soul’ (Entertainment Weekly). Outrageous, but with a big (cold) heart, this is ‘screamingly good fun!’ (Variety) that’ll make you want to live – and make the most of every Day-O!
James Lane, Producer, Crossroads Live says of the transfer: “The wait is over! We are beyond thrilled to be working alongside Warner Bros. and the ingenious team behind Beetlejuice to bring this highly anticipated Broadway hit to London’s West End at last. There is nothing else quite like this show, and audiences really are in for a terrifyingly hilarious treat at the spectacular Prince Edward Theatre next year.”
“After three successful Broadway engagements, a record-setting 88-city North American tour, and captivating audiences across international stages in Tokyo, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, and Melbourne, Beetlejuice will finally arrive in the United Kingdom,” continue producers Mark Kaufman (Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures) and Kevin McCormick (Langley Park Productions). “We are thrilled Beetlejuice will soon make its debut in London’s West End with its signature wit and irreverence.”
