A musical comedy, embracing every father’s nightmare! Wednesday Addams, known for her love of darkness, has fallen in love with a sweet man from a seemingly respectable and ordinary family. As Wednesday falls in love, family members begin to find out, forcing Gomez, her father, to keep a secret from his love, Morticia. Meanwhile, Pugsley and Grandma scheme and Uncle Fester relates by finding a love of his own. Everything will change on the dreadful night the Addams host a dinner for Wednesday’s boyfriend and his ‘normal’ family. What could go wrong?

CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
All ethnicities and gender identities will be considered for all roles.

GOMEZ ADDAMS The patriarch of the Addams Family – a loving father, a passionate husband, and (possibly) a homicidal maniac. Dance skills a plus. (Intimacy/Violence notes - Fences with Lurch and kisses Morticia’s hand and arm several times)

MORTICIA ADDAMS  The mother of the brood and object of Gomez’s adoration.  She is a strong matriarch and a beautiful, but potentially dangerous, presence. Dance skills a plus. (Intimacy/Violence moments - Hand and arm are kissed by Gomez)

UNCLE FESTER Gomez’s odd brother.  He is in love with the moon (literally).  The narrator of the show. Willing to shave head a plus. 

GRANDMA The Addams grandmother (unsure what side).  Fierce, matriarchal figure, whose witchlike presence creates dire consequences for the families. 

WEDNESDAY ADDAMS  The main focus of the love story within the production. She is battling her natural dark nature with the discovery of the brightness of being in love. (Casting 18+ ) (Intimacy/Violence moments - Tortures Pugsley, shoots a crossbow at Lucas, kisses Lucas)

PUGSLEY ADDAMS  Wednesday’s younger brother.  Fears losing the torturous relationship he has with his sister.  (Casting 14+ ) (Violence moments - Is tortured by Wednesday on a rack. Is hugged, and hugs other characters)

LURCH The Addams incredibly tall, possibly undead, mostly silent butler.  Has very few lines beyond grunts and growls, but does have one solo in the finale. (Violence/Intimacy moments - Fences with Gomez, Alice puts his hand on her chest)

LUCAS BEINEKE  Wednesday’s love interest.  A good-looking, wealthy, seemingly normal young man who is inexplicably attracted to the dark beauty that is Wednesday. (Intimacy/Violence moments - Wednesday shoots crossbow at his head, kisses Wednesday)

MAL BEINEKE Lucas’ stuck-up businessman father.  Must be able to bring the humor to this humorless banker-type and show the marital love buried deep within his complacency. (Intimacy/Violence - hug/kiss Alice)

ALICE BEINEKE  Lucas’ frustrated, yet loving mother.  She longs to break the bonds of marital boredom and find passion once more. (Intimacy/Violence moments - kisses Wednesday Alice Beineke F Soprano Ab3-G#5 50s Lucas’ mom, a lover of poetry, frustrated by her loveless marriage. Puts Lurch’s hand on her chest, hug/kiss Mal)
