The Addams
Family - The Musical
From GlovePerformingArtsCenterpresents an amazing new musical,
The Addams Family. Based on characters from Charles Addams' cartoon strips in
the New York Times, The Addams Family - The Musical features an original story
that is every father's nightmare.
Wednesday
Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with
a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have
never met. As if that weren't upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her
father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something
he has never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.
Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a
dinner for Wednesday's 'normal' boyfriend and his parents.
