Description:

Child auditions open for the musical production "Beetlejuice Jr.". See the details below! About the project: The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in this frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture. 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. Additional info: This show is for teens in middle and high school and is a musical! If your teen would like to audition, please have them come prepared to sing a 1-minute song and read selections from the script for the directors. If you are interested please apply.

31 roles

Lydia DeetzFemale11-18 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 DeetzFemale11-18 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.

BeetlejuiceFemale11-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The dead guy of the hour! This 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 MaitlandMale11-18 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 MaitlandFemale11-18 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 SchlimmerFemale11-18 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 DeanMale11-18 y.o.All ethnicities

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