THE ADDAMS FAMILY: The Musical
THE ADDAMS FAMILY: The Musical is a darkly comic musical about the wonderfully peculiar Addams family. Wednesday Addams has fallen for a kind, intelligent young man from a respectable family, but her parents have never met him. She asks her father, Gomez, to keep the relationship secret from Morticia, placing him in an impossible position before the families meet for a disastrous dinner with Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
The production features the familiar creepy, kooky Addams characters in a story about love, family secrets, and the chaos that follows when two very different families come together. It is presented on Walnut Street Theatre’s Mainstage.
