BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL to hold open auditions for role of Lydia Deetz
Feeling strange and unusual? Got a flair for the dramatic? Then we’ll say it once, say it twice - actually, we’ll say it three times. Crossroads Live and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures have announced open auditions for the role of everyone’s favourite dark darling of the dearly departed, and Beetlejuice: The Musical leading lady, Lydia Deetz.
Dark, smart and moody, with a jet-black sense of humour and a streak of anarchy, Lydia's a step ahead of almost everyone she meets – living or dead. But she's at the mercy of a mania, just like Beetlejuice. Lydia wants life to mean something. The world seems small to her since her mother died; she longs for it to reveal itself as something more fantastical than it is. She's heart-forward, and on a quest to find a reason to live.
Producers are looking for a female-presenting actor, playing age - late teens (16 -18), no taller than 5'4" and of any appearance. So don’t miss your chance to hang out with the baddest bio-exorcist in town, in the most anticipated Broadway transfer of recent years. The open call will be held on 22 January between 10am – 6pm at a central London location.
If this could be you, then there’s no need to consult the Handbook For The Recently Deceased. For more information and to register your interest, please click here.
