The Addams Family

A magnificently macabre and darkly humorous take on The Addams Family is spooking the stage as a hauntingly ghoulish musical at Roleystone Theatre.

Directed by Michelle Ezzy, the show features The Addams Family characters you remember – but Wednesday is all grown up and now has a boyfriend.

The potential in-laws are invited to dinner and some ghostly ancestors decide to join them, adding to the chaos that ensues.

Composer Andrew Lippa wrote most of the musical to match each character’s personality by giving Gomez a flamenco-style Spanish score, Wednesday a more contemporary feel and Fester a vaudevillian score.
