Looking to cast kids for "Beetlejuice JR."Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: It’s our show now, kid. 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. With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral “sucks-yes” on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty. Additional info: Each person will be required to cold-read from the script for the character they are auditioning for, and since this IS a musical, you will have to sing a song of choice. PLEASE choose your song wisely! Do not sing a random song that you like that has no relation or feel to the songs of the show. If interested, please apply.

Is a 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. Lydia is the undeniable heroine of this story, so we will cast a very strong singer and actor in this role who can balance Lydia’s strength, humor, and vulnerability.
