A new family is moving into the neighborhood, and they’re bringing plenty of laughs, love, and delightfully spooky surprises with them. This summer, Encore Stage & Studio welcomes audiences to The Addams Family, the hit musical comedy running July 17-26,. Based on the beloved characters created by Charles Addams, the musical follows Wednesday Addams as she falls in love with a “normal” boy and invites his family to dinner with her wonderfully unconventional relatives. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, actually.
Filled with memorable songs, larger-than-life characters, and plenty of heart, The Addams Family celebrates family, acceptance, and embracing what makes each of us unique. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and the rest of the Addams clan or discovering them for the first time, this musical promises a night of laughter, surprises, and unforgettable theatrical fun.
The Addams Family
