Beetlejuice announces title West End casting!

CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NETHERWORLD 

BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE! BEEEEEE … 

PERFORMANCES BEGIN AT THE PRINCE EDWARD THEATRE WEDNESDAY 20 MAY, 2026 

Crossroads Live and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. have summoned first casting for the highly anticipated West End premiere of Beetlejuice The Musical. Having pored over the Handbook For The Recently Deceased and chanted his name three times in a dimly lit room, the afterlife now binds them to reveal that Olivier-nominated actor David Fynn (School of Rock, Gillian Lynne Theatre; Am I Being Unreasonable, BBC) will unleash chaos in the iconic title role of Beetlejuice.

The veil between the living and the dead will tear open when performances rise from the grave at the Prince Edward Theatre from Wednesday 20 May, 2026.

Fynn brings an electrifyingly devilish presence to the mischievous and irreverent character made famous on screen and stage. This new West End production promises to deliver the same offbeat humour, heartfelt moments and dazzling spectacle that has made Beetlejuice a global phenomenon.

David Fynn says of stepping into the iconic striped suit: "It’s a show I’ve admired for a long time - bold, funny, and totally chaotic. Getting the chance to step into such an iconic role is both a huge honour and a slightly surreal experience. I’m looking forward to bringing my own take to it while staying true to what makes the character so much fun. Plus, I do look good in stripes, and I am a little dead inside."

Following three smash hit Broadway hauntings, Beetlejuice crosses the pond this year, making its West End debut at London’s Prince Edward Theatre, a Delfont Mackintosh Theatre, where it plays a strictly limited run from Wednesday 20 May, 2026 – Saturday 17 April, 2027.
