Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has a secret crush with a “normal” boy. The stage is set for a night that will change the family forever as their very different families meet for the first time. Set to an extraordinary original score, The Addams Family is a musical theatre sensation for the entire family.
Directed and musically directed by Teatro Co-Founder Andrew Bevis, with choreography by Teatro Co-Founder Nathan M. Wright, The Addams Family will transform the Teatro into a gothic wonderland.
Co-Founders of Teatro, Nathan M. Wright and Andrew Bevis said:
“Bringing The Addams Family to life as Teatro’s first major production is a dream come true. This cast is bursting with talent, personality, and a deliciously dark sense of humour—everything you’d want from the Addams clan. We can’t wait for audiences to meet them, fall in love with them, and join us in making theatrical mischief at our brand-new home in Leichhardt.”
The spectacular musical comedy from Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, writers of the multi award-winning hit musical Jersey Boys, with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, promises a devilishly good night at the theatre!
So dust off your cobwebs, grab your ghoul-friends, and prepare to snap along to The Addams Family.
The Addams Family runs from 3 October at Teatro at the Italian Forum, Norton Street Leichhardt NSW 2040. Tickets are on sale now!
