Regent Theatre has recently announced the cast for Beetlejuice The Musical, showing from May 2025. Exclusive to Melbourne, the musical will feature an all-new Australian cast.
After earning a Tony Award nomination for the music and lyrics he wrote for Beetlejuice The Musical, Eddie Perfect will take on the titular role of the zany Beetlejuice. Alongside Perfect, Karis Oka will take on the role of the sensitive Lydia Deetz (played in the original 1988 film and its 2024 sequel by Winona Ryder). Oka may be known to Melbourne audiences for her performance as Anne of Cleaves in the 2021-2023 tour of SIX the Musical.
