Principal Actors Needed for "Beetlejuice" Non Union Tour

Deeply lonely and ageless con-man who has been around for centuries, but is emotionally still 14. He wants nothing more than a chance to experience life, and he has a plan! Beetlejuice is a motormouth who mimics human emotion and has zero understanding of personal boundaries. Strategic and cagy and wildly dangerous in his pursuit, Beetlejuice meets his match in Lydia. Excellent singer. Bold, physical, comedic actor.

To play late teens, dark, smart and moody. With a jet-black sense of humor 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 Lydia since her mother died; she longs for it to reveal itself as something more fantastical than it is. Great rock belt/mix voice. Dry, comic actor with a sweet soulfulness.

Mid 30s, is a mouse that didn’t roar. Which doesn’t mean she can’t. Sweetly neurotic, devoted to her carefully-curated house and her careful curator of a house-husband, Barbara is positive, affirming, and unfailingly kind. She and Adam strenuously protect each other while inadvertently holding each other back. Barbara has a fierce heart and a heroic mother-bear instinct. A deft, subtle comic actress, disarmingly honest. Great Pop/Musical Theater voice with a strong mix.

Mid 30s, Adam is one of those “nice guys” who only have two problems: Can’t seem to get anything started, can’t seem to get anything finished. A putterer-craftsman, Adam adores his wife Barbara and the cozy, cloistered, slightly claustrophobic, conspicuously childless life they’ve built together. He is the fixer of any situation, and anti-confrontational to a fault. Great singer.

A mini-mogul who needs to control life’s chaos to feel safe. And yet, not far beneath his diamond-hard surface, he feels constantly out of control. In the wake of losing his wife, he refuses to look back as he attempts to rebuild the world for himself and his daughter. Charles is a masterclass in blustery overcompensation and strict compartmentalization, but below the surface there is a softness and vulnerability he is afraid to let out. Actor who sings.

Ditzy yet ambitious, Delia is unfailingly positive, and always looking for a silver lining, even when nobody’s asking for one. Delia is a searcher, longing for a place to belong, and under her optimistic surface there are demons she keeps at bay (most of the time). She’s never faced anyone as smart and cutting as Lydia, but sees that Lydia is struggling and feels she has a lot to give. Excellent singer with a strong pop/belt/mix.
