Kid Audition For Singing in "Beetlejuice JR."
Singing auditions open for kids for "Beetlejuice JR." See the details below. About the project: Meet Lydia Deetz—a strange and unusual teenager who’s obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Still grieving her mother’s loss, Lydia and her father move into a new home that’s haunted by two recently deceased ghosts and one delightfully devious demon: Beetlejuice! When Lydia teams up with this mischievous spirit to scare off the living, chaos breaks loose, and hilarity ensues. With a spine-tingling score by Tony-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony-nominated duo Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice JR. is packed with ghoulishly great songs, larger-than-life characters, and a wacky, weird, and heartfelt story. Perfect for young theater lovers who adore big laughs and bold imagination, this family-friendly adaptation is a (Nether)world of fun for audiences of all ages. It’s creepy, kooky, and completely unforgettable—come join the party! Additional info: Please prepare a 30-60 second, memorized musical selection in the style of the show using a track.

31 roles
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
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
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.

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'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

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