Characters
Lydia Deetz (Bianca Kayleigh de Guzman)
Whip-smart, grieving fifteen year old whose dark sense of humor helps her cope with the loss of her mother, Emily. Lydia is unfazed by Beetlejuice's antics and easily holds her own against both him and all things Netherworld
Vocal range : A3 - E5
Charles Deetz (Lex Baldi)
Lydia's father. He wants to help her get over the loss of her mother, although the ways he tries to "help" aren't really what Lydia needs. Charles is under a lot of pressure between his concerns over Lydia, his secret relationship with Delia, his professional life, and his own grief (which he tries to ignore).
Vocal range : Bb3 - F5
Beetlejuice (Collin Vester)
The dead guy of the hour! This titular character is zany, spooky, and absolutely hilarious. Though Beetlejuice exists in a morally gray area, he's more of a trickster than a malevolent threat. He's happy to align his interests with others, but ultimately, he's looking out for himself.
Vocal range : G3 - E5
Adam Maitland (Lucian Epling)
Devoted husband of Barbara, just can't catch a break. While life's stresses were getting to him - renovation of the house, financial difficulties, and the decision about having a child - he certainly wasn't ready for death.
Vocal range : Bb3 - Eb5
Barbara Maitland (Giada Miel)
Barbara's stresses align with her husband's, in life and death, although Barbara is a bit more adventurous than Adam. She is very kind but also strong-willed and a quick thinker. Barbara immediately bonds with Lydia.
Vocal range : A3 - D5
Delia Schlimmer (Berkely Yano)
Hopelessly (sometimes manically) optimistic. She believes fully in her guru, Otho, and considers herself a life coach, though underneath her facade she's quite fragile and desperately wants to fit in with the Deetzes. Delia loves Charles and genuinely cares about Lydia's well being, even if her attempts to connect are somewhat misguided.
Vocal range : G2 - C#5
Maxie Dean (Aidan Freienmuth)
The business tycoon whom Charles hopes to impress.
Vocal range : C4 - C5
Sky (Haley Goodwillie)
Vocal range : G3 - C5
Miss Argentina (Lexi McCracken)
Former beauty queen, greets the recently dead in the Netherworld. She leads "What I Know Now".
Vocal range : A3 - D5
Maxine Dean (Allison Brown)
Maxie's fourth (or fifth) wife
Otho (Simon Beall)
Delia's guru and occasional exorsist.
Juno (Peyton Weimer)
Beetlejuice's mother, runs the recently dead intake with an iron fist. She has "a voice like road tar" and no sympathy for anyone.
