About the Musical
Based on the iconic characters created by Charles Addams, this musical adaptation features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (Jersey Boys) and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party, Big Fish).
The plot centres on Wednesday Addams, the original princess of darkness, who has fallen in love with a sweet, respectable young man. Only her father, Gomez, knows her secret—much to the dismay of Morticia. As the two families meet for a fateful dinner, chaos ensues in true Addams fashion.
Expect laughs, lavish musical numbers, and a twisted celebration of love, family, and being gloriously different.
