SUMMONED. CAST. SHOWTIME. BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL announce full cast ahead of West End run
What a Day-O! Crossroads Live and Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures have announced full casting for this summer’s most anarchic Broadway transfer, Beetlejuice The Musical.

Following the recent announcement that David Fynn will appear as the West End’s new best fiend, Beetlejuice, it is revealed today that Tom Xander (Mean Girls, West End) will join the cast as alternate ‘guide to the other side’, Beetlejuice.

Alasdair Harvey (The Little Big Things, @SohoPlace) appears as Lydia’s bereaved father trying to find his way, Charles Deetz. His fiancée, life coach Delia, will be played by Aimie Atkinson (SIX, West End).
