Show Synopsis:

The Addams Family: A New Musical is a hilariously dark new musical created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, and score by Drama Desk Award winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party).

The Addams are a satirical inversion of the ideal twentieth-century American family: an eccentric, wealthy, aristocratic clan who delight in the macabre and are seemingly unaware - or do not care - that other people find them bizarre or frightening.

They have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia - the current patriarch and matriarch of the clan - would be only too happy to continue living that way. However, their dark and morbid but beloved daughter Wednesday is now an eighteen year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family — every father’s utter nightmare! To make matters worse, she has invited Lucas and his parents to their home for dinner.

In one fateful, hilarious night, the Addams host a dinner for Wednesday’s boyfriend and his ‘normal’ family. Secrets are disclosed and relationships are tested. The Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change!!
