Directed by:
Madalyn Sheehy
Music Director:
Marie Snyder
Location:
Littleton Opera House
The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in this 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.

What to Prepare
All auditioners will sing the same short song: TBD
We'll provide sheet music, a demo track, and an accompaniment track.
With Voices
Shared here on Nov 1, 2025: This is the recording of the section of "the song we'll ask you to sing that has the voices included. Practice with this first to learn how the voice and accompaniment go together!
Accompaniment
Shared here on Nov 1, 2025: This is the accompaniment for the audition. It is the track we will play for you to sing with during your audition. Practice using this once you learn the words from the sheet music and the recording above.
Shared here on Nov 1, 2025: This is the Audition song you will sing. Please print it and bring a copy to refer to at the audition. We much prefer memorized auditions, but children can hold the paper if they need to.
You do not need to read sheet music or memorize the lyrics—but if you can, even better! Auditioners may also be asked to read from the script.
