Synopsis:

The Addams Family features an original story and a dilemma that’s 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. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s 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.

Male (35+) Baritone/Tenor – Smart, comedic actor
A suave, yet comical man who takes great pride in his family and revels in all it means to be an Addams. He struggles
keeping his daughter’s secret from his wife, whom he adores more than death. Husband to Morticia.

Female (30+) -Mezzo Soprano/ Alto-Strong Matriarch
Attractive, strong willed woman – the strength of the family. An easy comedic actress with a dry wit. Feels her husband
is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the secret out. She is the real head of the family and fears her
daughter and her aren’t as close as they used to be. Good dancer

Female (18+) – Pop Soprano/Mezzo
Adventurous daughter – Wednesday is a girl who has the same dry wit and sensibility of her mother. Finds love with a “normal” boy (Lucas) and
wants to introduce his family to hers. She experiences the lovesick drama that comes with first love and when two very
different families meet. She longs for the approval of her parents but isn’t afraid to show her rebellious side.

Female (35+) – Soprano
Charming housewife comedic actress –
Mother of Lucas, devoted to her family so she puts aside her own desires. Alice is a quirky female who often speaks in rhymes and falls prey to the latest fads or quick fixes to her family or personal life. While at the Addams family dinner party, she drinks a potion that causes her to let her hair down and speak the truth rather than always appearing as “perfect”.

Male (25+) –Male- tenor/baritone vocals
Vaudeville-style Comedian, That one awkward family member who serves as the musical’s narrator. He’s larger than life,
an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. Uncle Fester is incorrigible and, except for the good nature of the family and
the ignorance of the police, would ordinarily be under lock and key.

Male (18+) – Tenor
Attractive male. Fell in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her. Experiences the youthful pain and drama
of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addams family. Lucas is a ‘normal guy’
who’s a little dorky. Wednesday absolutely intrigues him.

Male  (12+) Tenor
Troublesome Younger Brother – A funny and sometimes annoying young boy who loves being tortured by his sister. He wants to ensure he won’t lose his sister to her new boyfriend so he takes matters into his own hands. Strong, high vocals.

Male (35+) High Baritone/Tenor 
Stuffy father of Lucas and exasperated husband to his rhyming Stepford wife, Alice. At one time was a follower of a
grungy, dark band, but has lost that side of himself and has become a stereotypical businessman. Always looking out for
his family’s future and how they might look to his colleagues and the rest of the world.

Female (18+) Character vocals
Comedic actress – She’s one feisty old woman. Fun and quirky, but don’t mess with her. Grandma often schemes with Pugsley and offers
advice when needed. She’s more of an oddball than a typical, comforting grandmother figure.

Male (25+) Bass/Groans
Most Likely a Zombie Butler – The Addams butler who knows all, but says less. He speaks in moans and groans.

Male & Female (18+) all vocal ranges
Ancestors of the Addams family now live on ‘the other side’, but are summoned once a year to come celebrate
with the family. They help tell the story, offer advice and interact with the characters throughout the play. Must dance.
