THE ADDAMS FAMILY
Book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice
Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Based on Characters Created by Charles Addams
Directed and Choreographed by Janie Scott
Musical Direction by Matthew Mattei
We all have skeletons in our closet, but it takes a kooky family like the Addams to keep a pet squid there! From the writers of the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys, THE ADDAMS FAMILY tells the story of every father’s nightmare…that moment when your devilish little girl grows up and falls in love with a normal man from a respectable family. That’s right, Wednesday Addams has a boyfriend and this magnificently macabre family gets the shock of a lifetime when she brings him and his parents home for dinner. With brilliant new songs that are all-together ooky, the whole Addams family comes together for a riotous night of ghoulish glee, with surprises that are sure to turn the house downside up and leave you snapping up the aisle!
