McLean High School Theatre Company to Present 'The Addams Family Musical'

“They’re creepy and they’re kooky, Mysterious and spooky, They’re all together ooky, The Addams Family!”

Anyone who ever watched “The Addams Family” may remember the words to that opening song and will likely delight in seeing “The Addams Family Musical” performed Friday night in McLean by the McLean High School Theatre Company.

Be sure to wear a costume, there’s a contest at 10:30 p.m., before the curtain goes up at 11 p.m. at McLean High School’s Burks Auditorium, 1633 Davidson Road, McLean. Tickets are priced from $10 to $15 and can be purchased here.

Here’s more about the production, from the company’s Facebook page:

“THE ADDAMS FAMILY MUSICAL” 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.

If you can’t make the Halloween night performance, there will be more:

This weekend: Saturday at 7 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m. and next weekend: Friday, Nov. 7 and Saturday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. with a final matinee on Sunday, Nov. 9, at 2 p.m.
