Beetlejuice The Musical releases new demos album for Halloween

Beetlejuice The Musical has dropped a brand new album just in time for Halloween.

Coming from the show’s composer Eddie Perfect, Beetlejuice – The Demos! The Demos! The Demos! features 24 tracks including original demos and cut songs.

You can download and stream the album online here now.

Perfect says: “I am delighted and a little bit terrified to bring you these songs. You’ll notice there are different lyrics from different sections, and sometimes different characters sing different parts of different songs.

“I made these demos toiling away in my studio in Melbourne and I thought it might be interesting to fans of Beetlejuice to see how the songs came to be, and how we developed the characters over time.”

An adaption of the 1988 film of the same name, Beetlejuice premiered on Broadway in 2019 with its score by Australian singer-songwriter Eddie Perfect becoming a huge hit on social media.

The musical was due to close in June but ultimately played its final performance (for now) on March 10, 2020 due to the theatre shutdown.
