The Addams Family - April 2023
Details
The Addams Family is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it's every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, is now eighteen and is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.
​
Based on the beloved characters by Charles Addams, and from the composer of Big Fish, The Wild Party, and John & Jen, and the writers of Jersey Boys and The Cher Show, The Addams Family is a treat that will have you pulled in a new direction to move toward the darkness once more.
