Four-time Olivier Award-nominee Summer Strallen is set to play the endlessly optimistic, crystal-obsessed life coach, Delia Deetz, in the West End production of Beetlejuice The Musical for a strictly limited season.
Summer takes over the role from Aimie Aitkinson from Monday 3 August to Monday 2 November 2026.
Beetlejuice The Musical is currently playing at the Prince Edward Theatre in London through to Saturday 17 April 2027.
During her short break from the production, original SIX: The Musical West End cast member Aimie Atkinson will be making her Broadway debut, reprising her Olivier Award-nominated role as Katherine Howard at the Lena Horne Theatre.
Atkinson returns to Beetlejuice The Musical in the West End on Wednesday, 3 November 2026.
Summer joins current cast members David Fynn (School of Rock) as the West End’s new best fiend, Beetlejuice, with Tom Xander (Olivier Award-nominee Mean Girls) as alternate ‘guide to the other side.’
The production also stars Hannah Nordberg (Euphoria) as Lydia Deetz, and David Hunter (Time Traveller’s Wife) and Chelsea Halfpenny (Emmerdale) as newly-dead homemakers and amateur after-lifers, Adam and Barbara Maitland.
The West End production resurrects its otherworldly Broadway creative team, featuring a Book by Scott Brown and Anthony King with Music and Lyrics by Eddie Perfect and is directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical).
