Beetlejuice the Musical announces shock early closure in West End

  • Beetlejuice the Musical is set to close early in London’s West End, with its run at the Prince Edward Theatre now ending on 3 January instead of running until April 2027.
  • The stage production, adapted from Tim Burton’s cult 1988 comedy film, opened in London in May following successful runs on Broadway and a US tour spanning 88 cities.
  • The current West End cast stars David Fynn as the demonic Beetlejuice, Hannah Nordberg as gothic teenager Lydia Deetz, and David Hunter alongside Chelsea Halfpenny as the Maitlands.
  • In a three-star review for The Independent, chief theatre critic Alice Saville highlighted the show's irreverent sense of humour and commended David Fynn's energetic, punk-rock performance.
  • The musical has enjoyed global popularity with international productions in Tokyo, Seoul, Melbourne, and Abu Dhabi, with tickets still available for its remaining London dates.
