An original story, and it’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 – a man her parents have
never met. And 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’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.


*Characters*

*GOMEZ ADDAMS* (40's to 50's; tenor - Bb to G#)
Of Spanish descent who takes great pride in his family and revels in all it
means to be an “Addams.” Smart, comedic actor short in stature but large in
heart.

*UNCLE FESTER* (30's to 40's; tenor - C# to C# preferably at belt)
Androgynous family member who serves as the musical’s narrator. Larger than
life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. Vaudeville style comedian,
willing to shave his head.

*PUGSLEY ADDAMS* (teens; tenor - Bb to F#)
Charming, funny, pudgy 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.

*LURCH* (unknown; bass - Eb to F)
Tall, very tall. The Addams butler, knows all, speaks in moans and groans,
but not a cartoon version of himself. Movement is slow, very slow.
Character actor with large stage presence.

*MAL BEINEKE* (40's to 50's; tenor - C# to Bb)
Stuffy father of Lucas and exasperated husband to his rhyming wife, Alice.
Everything Gomez is not. At one time was a follower of The Grateful Dead
but has lost that side of himself.

*LUCAS BEINEKE* (20's; tenor - C# to C#)
The romantic, 'average' young man who has fallen in love with Wednesday
Addams and plans to marry her. Caught in the middle of the two families.
Pop voice.

*MORTICIA ADDAMS* (40's to 50's; alto - G# to Bb)
The real 'head' of the Addams family, as sexy as she is witty. Feels her
husband is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the
secret out. Strong dancer.

*WEDNESDAY ADDAMS* (20's; soprano - Bb to F)
Sharp, witty, dry humored. When she finds love with a “normal” boy, Lucas
her internal excitement is trying to bust through her cold emotionless
exterior.

ALICE BEINEKE (40's; soprano - G# to G#)
Quirky, often speaks in rhyme. Picture perfect Mother to Lucas, stuck in a
dull marriage with Mal until her wild side breaks free.

*GRANDMA ADDAMS* (100+; belt - G# to F#)
Feisty 102 year old that is fun and quirky, and has stopped caring what
others think a long time ago. Strong comedic character actress.

*THE ANCESTORS* (various genders and vocal ranges, ages 16 and older)
Ensemble singer/dancers who serve as a Greek Chorus of sorts bring fun with
a quirky sensibility. Each actor will create an Addams Family Ancestor
character fill out the show and move the story forward. Examples of the
Ancestor characters are Bride, Groom, Stewardess, Saloon Girl, Flapper,
Pilgrim, Conquistador, Caveman, Cavewoman, Soldier, Sailor, etc.
