SYNOPSIS & CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every
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—a man her parents have never met. 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.


GOMEZ ADDAMS - Vocal Range: Bb2 - G4 (Tenor/Baritone)

A suave man of Spanish descent who adores his wife and children and takes
immense pride in being an Addams. Gomez finds himself trapped between his
daughter and his wife, being forced to hide Wednesday’s big secret from
Morticia. He has great comedic timing and is a strong dancer. Spanish
accent a plus! Tango and/or fencing/sword combat experience great!


MORTICIA ADDAMS - Vocal Range: G3 - Bb5 (Mezzo-Soprano)

The beautiful, leggy and mysterious head of the Addams family who believes
strongly in family tradition. Morticia is unnerved thinking that Gomez is
hiding something from her and that her relationship with her daughter isn’t
what it used to be. She is confident and sexy with a side of dry wit.


WEDNESDAY ADDAMS - Vocal Range; A3 - E5 (Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano)

Goth big sister Wednesday has her father’s heart and her mother’s
sensibility (as well as her deadly dry wit). Having fallen in love with a
“normal” boy, Wednesday must figure out how to introduce him and his
parents to her unique family. Wednesday showcases compassion, a bit of
stubbornness, and a strong will.


PUGSLEY ADDAMS - Vocal Range: A3 – F5 (Alto)

Pugsley is a funny, inventive, and sometimes annoying little brother who
loves to be tortured by his big sister. Aware that family dynamics are
changing around him, he wants to ensure he won’t lose his sister so he
takes matters into his own hands.


UNCLE FESTER - Vocal Range; C3 – G4 (Tenor/Baritone)

Serving as the musical’s comedic narrator, Uncle Fester brings their own
unique personality to the show. They are lovable, childish,
enthusiastically strange, and highly incorrigible (except for the good
nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, they would ordinarily
be under lock and key!).


MAL BEINEKE - Vocal Range: C3 – A4 (Tenor/High Baritone)

Mal is the uptight father of Wednesday’s boyfriend, Lucas, and exasperated
husband to his rhyming wife, Alice. Once a faithful follower of a grungy,
dark band, he has long submerged that side of himself to become a
stereotypical businessman, obsessed with his family’s future and impressing
others. He finds the Addams far too bizarre for his liking.


ALICE BEINEKE - Vocal Range: Ab3 – G#5 (Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano)

Lucas’s mother and Mal’s wife, Alice is a lovely housewife who is devoted
to her family. Always charming and cheerful, Alice’s only flaw seems to be
a quirky tendency to speak in rhymes. That is, until she accidentally
drinks a potion at dinner with the Addams and learns to unleash her wild
side.


LUCAS BEINEKE - Vocal Range: C3 – C5 (Tenor/Baritone)

Smart, attractive, and a bit dorky, ‘normal guy’ Lucas has fallen head over
heels in love with Wednesday and intends to marry her. He is optimistic and
hopeful, yet struggles to find the balance between his ‘normal’ family and
the macabre Addams.


GRANDMA - Vocal Range: G4 – F5 (Alto/Tenor)

Fun, quirky and very feisty, Grandma always has a trick up her sleeve and
is often cooking up schemes. She is wise, wacky and sometimes a bit crass.
She has great comedic timing and versatile character physicality;
definitely not a typical sweet grandmotherly figure.


LURCH - Vocal Range: Eb2 – E4 (Bass)

A man of few words, Lurch is the Addams family butler. His unmistakable
commanding presence is accented by grunts, moans, and deliberate movement.


THE ADDAMS ANCESTORS - All Vocal Ranges

Ancestors of the Addams Family that now live on ‘the other side’, but are
summoned once a year to come celebrate with the family. Dressed in the
attire of their various eras of Addams Family history, the Ancestors serve
as the ensemble (chorus) for the show. They help bring the story to life,
sometimes offering advice, and interacting with the characters throughout
the play. They appear often, including singing and dancing in several
numbers, as well as silently watching or possibly being a part of the
magical effects of the show.
