Robert has appeared on Broadway in Finding Neverland and on the national tours of The Phantom of the Opera and The 101 Dalmatians Musical.
The Addams Family is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family. Featuring an original story centered around Wednesday, the ultimate princess of darkness. Having fallen for a young man from a respectable family, Wednesday confides this love to her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Gomez must now keep this secret from his beloved wife, Morticia and everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
Presented with special arrangement through Theatrical Rights Worldwide, The Addams Family has music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa with a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The creative team helming the production are Chuck Ragsdale (Director), Pamela Sorensen (Choreographer), Paul Loesel (Music Supervisor), Evan Swanson (Music Director), Jim Quinlan (Associate Music Director) and Brian Dunn (Technical Direction).
