31 roles

Lydia DeetzFemale14-18 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. Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: A3

Charles DeetzBoth genders14-18 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). Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: Bb3

BeetlejuiceBoth genders14-18 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. Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: G3

Adam MaitlandMale14-18 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. Vocal range top: Eb5 Vocal range bottom: Bb3

Barbara MaitlandFemale14-18 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. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: A3

Delia SchlimmerFemale14-18 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. Vocal range top: C#5 Vocal range bottom: G2

Maxie DeanMale14-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The business tycoon whom Charles hopes to impress. Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: C4

SkyFemale14-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: G3

Miss ArgentinaFemale14-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Former beauty queen, greets the recently dead in the Netherworld. She leads “What I Know Now”. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: A3

Maxine DeanFemale14-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Maxie's fourth (or fifth) wife.

OthoBoth genders14-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Delia's guru and occasional exorsist.

JunoFemale14-18 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.
