Beetlejuice
Who needs Paddington the Musical when we have Avenue Q, and now Beetlejuice!
Taking over The Prince Edward Theatre from MJ, Beetlejuice The Musical, Musical, The Musical (as it states on the marquee and program) is screamingly good fun, and will be scaring audiences for months to come with its blend of dark humor, monsters, costumes, brilliant makeup, songs, and an absolute brilliant cast. 40 years since its cinematic debut, and eight years since its debut on Broadway, this stage version has finally made its way to London’s West End!
If you haven’t seen the movie (or it’s 2024 sequel), a dead couple (Chelsea Halfpenny and David Hunter)haunt the new inhabitants of their former home and enlist the help of a ghost called Beetlejuice (a brilliant David Fynn who’s on stage for most of the show and owns it’s - bringing camp and lewd jokes throughout). Lydia (a brilliant Hannah Norbert) is an inhabitant in the house and sorely misses her dead mother, while her neglectful father (Alistair Harvey) is in the throes of a new relationship with Delia (Aimie Atkinson).
It’s a plot line that never gets boring because it’s full of memorable songs and is screamingly good fun, fun, fun.
Beetlejuice is based on the three-time Broadway sensation and the Tim Burton film classic, will raise the dead from their graves, and will provide a scaringly good time for the entire family! And as darkness descends into the West End and as you leave the theatre, you’ll be looking in every direction for your safety and on the lookout for monsters.
