About the Show: Adapted directly from the full-length Broadway hit musical Beetlejuice, the ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in this edgy junior adaptation of everyone’s favorite irreverent musical comedy based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film. Beetlejuice tells the hauntingly comedic yet touching 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 (Adam and Barba Maitland) and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. Trying to help the newlydeads maintain possession of their home, Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse by calling his name thrice, allowing him to materialize and wreak havoc. The double-crossing specter, however, shows his true stripes … unleashing a Netherworld of pandemonium.
Showkit include: (30) Actor's Scripts, (1) Piano/Vocal Score, (1) Director's Guide, Plus digital access to audio tracks, choreography videos, and other helpful media!

Lydia Deetz
Whip-smart, grieving fifteen- year-old whose dark sense of humor helps her cope with the loss of her mother, Emily. Lydia is unfazed by Beetlejuice’s antics and easily holds her own against both him and all things Netherworld.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: A3
Charles Deetz
Lydia’s father. He wants to help her get over the loss of her mother, although the ways he tries to “help” aren’t really what Lydia needs. Charles is under a lot of pressure between his concerns over Lydia, his secret relationship with Delia, his professional life, and his own grief (which he tries to ignore).
Vocal range top: F5
Vocal range bottom: Bb3
Beetlejuice
The dead guy of the hour! This titular character is zany, spooky, and absolutely hilarious. Though Beetlejuice exists in a morally gray area, he’s more of a trickster than a malevolent threat. He’s happy to align his interests with others, but ultimately, he’s looking out for himself.
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: G3
Adam Maitland
Devoted husband of Barbara, just can’t catch a break. While life’s stresses were getting to him – renovation of the house, financial difficulties, and the decision about having a child – he certainly wasn’t ready for death.
Gender: male
Vocal range top: Eb5
Vocal range bottom: Bb3
Barbara Maitland
Barbara's stresses align with her husband’s, in life and death, although Barbara is a bit more adventurous than Adam. She is very kind but also strong-willed and a quick thinker. Barbara immediately bonds with Lydia.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: A3
Delia Schlimmer
Hopelessly (sometimes maniacally) optimistic. She believes fully in her guru, Otho, and considers herself a life coach, though underneath her façade she’s quite fragile and desperately wants to fit in with the Deetzes. Delia loves Charles and genuinely cares about Lydia’s well-being, even if her attempts to connect are somewhat misguided.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: G2
Maxie Dean
The business tycoon whom Charles hopes to impress.
Gender: male
Vocal range top: C5
Vocal range bottom: C4
Sky

Vocal range bottom: A3
Maxine Dean
Maxie's fourth (or fifth) wife.
Gender: female
Otho
Delia's guru and occasional exorsist.
Juno
