“Dead Mom” DEMO Music Video | Beetlejuice The Musical

Teen angst never sounded so good. Sophia Anne Caruso rocks the “Dead Mom” demo recording in this brand-new music video.

It’s showtime, folks! The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in this edgy and irreverent musical comedy based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film. BEETLEJUICE tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium, and the biggest sandworm Broadway has ever seen.

When she sings "daddy's in denial, daddy doesn't wanna feel" I get chills

[sarahdeg]

actual lyrics: momma, is this it? are you receiving?
my brain: are you a ceiling
me: wow that’s deep

[zackstark]

It kills me that Sophia did not get nominated for a Tony Award this song is Amazing

[kenzp]

HOW CAN A 17year old be THIS TALENTED ITS ILLEGAL

[keegan]

“i wish his perfect picket fences would impale him through the heart”
why was this line CUT I WILL DIE MAD ABOUT IT

[blainecash]

My mom passed away a few years ago and when it says "daddy's moving forward daddy didn't lose a mom" I cried. The whole song is what I've been feeling. Also the "wake me when I'm twenty one" also made me cry

[megck]

there needs to be an ‘outstanding vocal performance’ tony award, because seriously, this is insane

[glitter_bees]

The bit where she says “daddy didn’t lose a mom” gives me chills every time

[omarmahmoud]

Guys just a tip don’t try and sing this song in her style, she knows her limits and style, if you wanna sing this song use a style that’s healthy for your voice, ask your music teacher or vocal coach to make sure of what to do. This song is very hard to sing and it can damage your voice heavily

[haleyrosee]

This is a higher key than the recording. they must’ve lowered it cuz this is ridiculously high especially for 8 shows a week.

"Teen angst has never sounded so good"

shots fired, whoa there Beetlejuice, you're a musical calm down

[michigo_xo]

I like that they added “I’m your clone, your strange creation” that line hits super hard

[bluebird]

Sophia and Billie eillish both hold too much power to be only 17

[rgmartist]

*weeps in british as i wait for the west end run*

[kkaitlinten]

Why on earth would you write a song that has a C#5 on the vowel “E” thats just plain mean

[ellie_wgnr]

I love how unique her voice is. So much talent! She would make a great pop-punk singer lol

"I wish his perfect pretty fences would impale him through the heart."
Harsh.

[fizzaxn]

“Daddy’s in denial, daddy doesn’t wanna feel.”
“Daddy’s moving foward, daddy didn’t lose a mom.”

these lines just hit hard man

Hey Mom, Dead Mom
I need a little help here
I'm prob'ly talking to myself here
But Dead Mom I gotta ask
Are you really in the ground?
Cause I feel you all around me
Are you here, Dead Mom?
Dead Mom

Dead Mom, my father is the greatest of pretenders
I wish his perfect picket fences
Would impale him through the heart
Every day he's staring at me
Like all "hurry up get happy
Move along
Forget about your mom"

But Daddy's in denial
Daddy doesn't wanna feel
He wants me to smile
And clap like a performing seal
Ignored it for a while
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
You won't believe the mess that we've become

You held my hand
And life came easy
Now jokes don't land
And no one sees me
Nothing seems to fit
Mamma is this it?
Are you receiving?
I want something to believe in

Oh I'm done
Take me where my soul can run
Or I'll be in my bedroom
Wake me when I'm twenty one
Daddy's moving forward
Daddy didn't lose a mom

Mamma won't you send a sign?
I'm running out of hope and time
A plague of mice, a lightning strike
Or drop a nuclear bomb

No more playing Daddy's game
I'll go insane if things don't change
Whatever it takes to make him say your name
Dead Mom

Lydia: My father is the greatest of pretenders
Monkey brain: MY FATHER IS THE GREATEST OF PATATERS
Me, shaking with fear: wh-
Monkey brain: PATAERS.
