Beetlejuice Jr.
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.
Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!
BEETLEJUICE JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.

Beetlejuice Jr. Character List
Principal Characters:
Lydia Deetz:
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.
Gender: Female
Vocal range: A3 - E5
Charles Deetz:
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).
Gender: Male
Vocal range: Bb3 - F5
Beetlejuice:
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: G3 - E5
Adam Maitland:
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.
Gender: Male
Vocal range: Bb3 - Eb5
Barbara Maitland:
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.
Gender: Female
Vocal range: A3 - D5
Delia Schlimmer:
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.
Gender: Female
Vocal range: G2 - C#5
Maxie Dean:
The business tycoon whom Charles hopes to impress.
Gender: Male
Vocal range: C4 - C5
Sky:
A Girl Scout who has a heart disease where any shocking thing could stop her heart, but she is nevertheless excited to be a Girl Scout. She rings the doorbell of the Deetzes' house, to be greeted by Lydia, who invites her and her friends inside.
Gender: Female
Vocal range: G3 - C5
Miss Argentina:
Former beauty queen, greets the recently dead in the Netherworld. She leads “What I Know Now”.
Gender: Female
Vocal range: A3 - D5
Maxine Dean:
Maxie's fourth (or fifth) wife.
Gender: Female
Otho:
Delia's guru and occasional exorcist.
Juno:
Beetlejuice’s mother, runs the recently dead intake with an iron fist. She has “a voice like road tar” and no sympathy for anyone.
