Beetlejuice The Musical Arrives at West End’s Prince Edward Theatre
West End's Most Anticipated Musical Finally Has Its Full Cast
London theatre lovers have plenty to celebrate as producers have officially unveiled the complete cast for the West End premiere of Beetlejuice The Musical. The show is set to open at the Prince Edward Theatre on Old Compton Street — just a short walk from the vibrant heart of Soho — on 20 May 2026, running through to 17 April 2027. Leading the company is Olivier Award nominee David Fynn in the iconic title role, with Tom Xander stepping in as the alternate Beetlejuice. Xander, himself a 2025 Olivier Award nominee, brings serious stage credentials to the production following his work in Mean Girls. Hannah Nordberg, widely recognised from the hit drama Euphoria, takes on the beloved role of Lydia Deetz. Rounding out the central family are West End veterans David Hunter and Chelsea Halfpenny as the charmingly hapless Maitlands, while Alasdair Harvey and Aimie Atkinson — another Olivier nominee — complete the eccentric Deetz household. With such a stacked ensemble, this production is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about london events of the coming year, drawing fans from across the capital and beyond.
A Stellar Supporting Company Brings the Underworld to Life
Beyond the headline names, the full company for Beetlejuice The Musical is equally impressive, featuring a roster of performers with credits spanning some of the biggest shows in the West End and on Broadway. Chasity Crisp, known for Hamilton, takes on the dual roles of Maxine Dean and Juno, while Richard Frame, previously seen in Frozen, steps into the role of Otho. Irvine Iqbal brings experience from Aladdin to his portrayal of Maxie Dean, and Vanessa Aurora Sierra reprises her role as Miss Argentina, having previously performed in the show's earlier productions. Rachel Macdougall, familiar to audiences from The King and I, joins as the Girl Scout. The wider ensemble includes a talented group of performers — Jemma Alexander, Samuel Bangs, Natasha Cayabyab, Chris Draper, Harley Emmitt, Catherine McCormick, Robbie McMillan, Kieran Mellish, Elliott Parry, Jacob Smith, Adam Taylor, Tyler Timmins, and Issie Wilman — whose combined experience across major productions ensures the show will have real depth and energy in every scene. For local theatregoers, securing tickets early is strongly advised given the level of excitement surrounding this production.
