The world kookiest, creepiest and most entertaining family comes to devilishly delightful life in The Addams Family Musical. This magnificently macabre new musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, with a brilliant score from Drama Desk award winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party). Matt Byrne directs the fun, with classic choreography from Sue Pole and a brilliant band under the astute musical direction of Gordon Combes.
It’s funny, the music is fabulous and the set by outstanding new Adelaide designer Anthony Dal Santo is amazing as we see the Addams Family try and cope with being “normal” for one memorable night to appease a now grown-up Wednesday’s new boyfriend!
The Plot
The Addams Family features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.
Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
