Beetlejuice The Musical (booking through to 2nd January 2027)

Beetlejuice The Musical is currently booking through to 2nd January 2027, and there’s no confirmed show announced to follow it yet. I’ll update this page as soon as the Prince Edward’s next production is announced.

BEST SEATS AT THE PRINCE EDWARD THEATRE

The Prince Edward Theatre has three seating levels: Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle. It’s one of the largest West End houses, seating close to 1,750, and each level offers a genuinely good overall view.

STALLS

The Stalls hold 896 seats and are divided into blocks, which helps keep sightlines clear throughout. It’s the best spot to take in Beetlejuice’s big theatrical effects up close.

DRESS CIRCLE

The Dress Circle holds 405 seats and gives a great overview of the stage. Front and middle rows are the pick of the level for this show’s larger set pieces.

GRAND CIRCLE

The Grand Circle holds 415 seats and sits highest, at a lower price. Given the size of the theatre it’s still a good distance from the stage, so it’s worth checking reviews for your specific row.

HOW TO GET TO THE PRINCE EDWARD THEATRE

The Prince Edward Theatre is on Old Compton Street in Soho. The nearest tube station is Leicester Square (Piccadilly and Northern lines), just a short walk away, with Tottenham Court Road and Piccadilly Circus also close by.

ABOUT THE PRINCE EDWARD THEATRE

The Prince Edward Theatre opened on 3rd April 1930 with the musical Rio Rita, designed by Edward A. Stone. It’s had an unusually varied life: it became the London Casino in 1935, was damaged during the Blitz in 1941, and was extensively converted for the widescreen Cinerama film process from 1954, hosting major film premieres including How the West Was Won.

It returned to live theatre in 1978 with Evita, and has since hosted a string of major West End musicals including Mamma Mia!, Mary Poppins and Aladdin. Beetlejuice The Musical is the current production. It’s owned and operated by Delfont Mackintosh Theatres.
