Description
The weird and wonderful family comes to devilishly delightful life in The Addams Family. This magnificently macabre new musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk-winning composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys) and Olivier Award-winning director/designers Phelim McDermott & Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter) with creative consultation by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks.
This is definitely not the same old song and dance.
It's every parent's nightmare. Your little girl has suddenly become a young woman, and what's worse, has fallen deliriously in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Yes, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has a “normal” boyfriend, and for parents Gomez and Morticia, this shocking development will turn the Addams house downside up.
It’s a family portrait that’s completely off the wall.

What is THE ADDAMS FAMILY Like?
Fans of
Charles Addams’ macabre cartoons and the popular TV show and movies they
inspired will not be disappointed by this musical. The original story and
score may be new to audiences, but the iconic characters, including Lurch,
Grandmama, Pugsley and Uncle Fester, remain. In addition to singing and
dancing, this Addams
Family is different from other incarnations of the altogether
ooky clan: Wednesday, now coming of age, is no longer simply a pig-tailed
lass with a penchant for (literally) torturing her brother, and Morticia has
morphed from the picture of cool confidence to a woman faced with her own
mortality—and all the anxiety (and perhaps comfort) that entails.
Is THE ADDAMS FAMILY Good For Kids?
Despite talk of death, sexual innuendo and physical suffering, The Addams Family is perfect for kids. First Lady Michelle Obama brought her two daughters to the show; if that’s not a seal of approval, what is?
Cast & Creative
The delightfully odd members of The Addams Family are making their way across America in the musical’s first national tour, and Broadway.com has your first look at the gothic dynasty. Broadway vets Douglas Sills and Sarah Gettelfinger head up the family as patriarch Gomez and matriarch Morticia—two parents deeply concerned for their daughter Wednesday (Cortney Wolfson). When Wednesday invites her boyfriend’s family to the Addams mansion to meet the parents, the haunted house is turned upside down by change. The cast features Blake Hammond as Uncle Fester, Pippa Pearthree as Grandma and Patrick D. Kennedy as Pugsley. Be sure to catch this hilarious family reunion in a city near you.
