Roosevelt School To Present Spring Musical: ‘Addams Family’

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of West Orange Public Schools. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site here.

Roosevelt Middle School will present its annual spring musical, "The Addams Family Jr.," on April 26 and 27 beginning at 7:00 pm and April 28 beginning at 2:00 pm. Roosevelt Middle School is located at 36 Gilbert Place.

The musical centers around creator Charles Addams' quirky and macabre family: Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Uncle Fester, Grandma, and their butler Lurch. The Addams Family originally appeared in a wildly popular television program in the 60s that spawned a blockbuster movie in 1991 and a sequel in 1993. The Broadway show opened in 2010 and is still on tour to this day. An animated movie is set for release in October.

Wednesday Addams is in love with Lucas, a decidedly "normal" young man compared to the idiosynchrasies and peculiarities of the Addamses. She invites Lucas and his parents over for dinner without initially telling Morticia and Gomez, her parents. What ensues next is series of bizarre incidents, comic misunderstandings, and lots of laughs.

The show's cast features:
Gomez - Giancarlo Minervino
Morticia - Leah Munoz
Wednesday - Madison Gough
Pugsley - Chester Koch
Lucas - Gus Peterson
Fester - Shane Donagher
Grandma - Eloise Lemos
Alice - Delia Kravits
Mal - Carlos Henriquez
