About The Addams Family:

*Snap snap* 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 wasn’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 entire family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. Inspired by the popular TV and film series, The Addams Family musical is a spooky good time for all ages and a hilarious send-up of family quirks, being true to oneself, and celebrating love in all its forms.
