BREAKDOWN
BEETLEJUICE
Beetlejuice, a malevolent spirit masquerading as a guide to the Netherworld meets the Maitlands, a recently deceased couple learning the ropes of haunting their own home. But when angst-ridden Lydia Deetz moves into the Maitland house with her family, Beetlejuice launches a havoc-wrecking quest that forces the Maitlands to confront what it means to be fully dead and Lydia to confront what it means to be fully alive.
[BEETLEJUICE] ageless, somewhere between 12 and 12,000, maturity-wise. The life of the party and the deadest guy in the room; Beetlejuice is more than a little ADD and free-associative; a handsy, horny motormouth who overshares and disregards all notions of personal space. Strategic and cagy and wildly dangerous. Excellent singer. Any ethnicity. Bold, physical, comedic.
[LYDIA] 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. Any ethnicity. Drily comic.
[BARBARA] 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. Any ethnicity. Great Pop/Musical Theater voice with a strong mix.
[ADAM] 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. What Adam doesn’t realize is: That fastidiously unfinished life of his is nearly finished. Any ethnicity. Great singer.
[CHARLES] late 40s/early 50s, is 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. Charles is a master-class in blustery overcompensation and strict compartmentalization. Any ethnicity.
[DELIA] 30s-40s, ditzy yet ambitious, Delia is unfailingly positive, unfailingly clueless, and always looking for a silver lining, even when nobody’s asking for one. She’s never faced anyone as smart and cutting as Lydia before. Any ethnicity. Excellent singer with a strong pop/belt/mix.
