ABOUT THE SHOW:
They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky!

America’s darkest family with an affinity for all things macabre comes to life in this hilarious musical comedy about love, family, honesty, and growing up. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable and “normal” family – a man her parents have never met. What’s our favorite ghoulish couple, Morticia and Gomez, to do?

ROLES:
ALL ROLES ARE UNPAID/VOLUNTARY AND NO ROLES HAVE BEEN PRECAST.

THE ADDAMS
Morticia Addams, Stage Age: 35-55, Vocal Range: G3 – Bb5
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. She is confident and sexy, with a side of dry wit. Solid comedic timing and strong mover.

Gomez Addams, Stage Age: 35-55, Vocal Range: A3 – E5
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. Comedic timing is paramount and should be a strong dancer.

Wednesday Addams, Stage Age: 18-22, Vocal Range: A3 – E5
Gothic big sister Wednesday, who has her father’s heart and her mother’s sensibility, falls in love with a “normal” boy who she brings home to meet the family. Wednesday is trying to balance her relationships with her beloved “strange” family against her new love and his “normal” family. Wednesday showcases compassion, a bit of stubbornness, and strong will. Must have a strong belt.

Pugsley Addams, Stage Age: 12-16, Vocal Range: A3 – F5
The youngest of the Addams Family. Puglsey loves to be tortured by his big sister. He is lost trying to figure out his place now that Wednesday has a new boyfriend and familiar family dynamics are changing. Pugsley is charming and funny, ideally with a pure, high tenor or strong falsetto.

Uncle Fester, Stage Age: 30-50, Vocal Range C3 – G4 (optional C5)
Serving as the narrator of the show, Uncle Fester is lovable, childish, enthusiastic, and highly incorrigible. Fester has great comedic timing and a tenor voice. Ukulele skills a plus!

Grandma, Stage Age: “Older than Dirt”, Vocal Range: G4 – F5
Fun, quirky, and feisty. Grandma always has tricks up her sleeve. She is wise, wacky, and sometimes a bit crass. She has great comedic timing and physicality.

Lurch, Stage Age: 30-50, Vocal Range Eb2 – E4
A man of few words, Lurch is the Addams Family butler. His unmistakable commanding presence is accented by grunts, moans, and deliberate movement. Must have great non-verbal story-telling abilities (think: facial expressions and sounds)

THE BEINECKES
Alice Beinecke, Stage Age: 35-55, Vocal Range: Ab3 – G#5
Lucas’ mother and Mal’s wife, Alice is strongly devoted to her family. She presents herself as reserved and collected (even when speaking in rhyme) until she learns to unleash her wild side at dinner with the Addamses. She is a strong comedic actress with a solid belt/lyric combo.

Mal Beinecke, Stage Age: 35-55, Vocal Range: C3 – A4
The uptight father of Lucas and cold-shouldered husband to Alice, cynical Mal meets the Addamses with skepticism. He finds the Addamses to be too bizarre for his liking and cannot fathom being related to them. Delivers humor with dry nonchalance.

Lucas Beinecke, Stage Age: 18-22, Vocal Range: C3 – C5
The hopeful romantic and son of Alice and Mal, Lucas has fallen 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 Addamses. Strong singer.

THE ANCESTORS
The Ancestors, Stage Age: 18+, All Vocal Ranges, Male and Female
The Addams ancestors from various years serve as the chorus for the show and help bring the story to life. Featured both singing and dancing throughout the entire show.
