The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.

31 roles

Lydia DeetzFemale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

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.

Charles DeetzMale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

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).

BeetlejuiceMale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

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.

Adam MaitlandMale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

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.

Barbara MaitlandFemale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

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.

Delia SchlimmerFemale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

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.

Maxie DeanMale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

The business tycoon whom Charles hopes to impress

SkyFemale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

Miss ArgentinaFemale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

Former beauty queen, greets the recently dead in the Netherworld. She leads “What I Know Now”.

Maxine DeanFemale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Maxie's fourth (or fifth) wife.

OthoMale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

Delia's guru and occasional exorcist.

JunoMale13-17 y.o.All ethnicities

Beetlejuice’s mother, runs the recently dead intake with an iron fist. She has “a voice like road tar” and no sympathy for anyone.
