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.

The cast includes Edie Cherubino (Morticia), Ian Kisluk (Gomez), Mark Fairchild (Fester), McKenna O'Meara (Wednesday), Debbie Minter (Grandma), Max McCord (Pugsley), Dodge McCord (Lurch), Becky Sides (Alice), Brian Sides (Mal) and Matthew Smaldone (Lucas). The Addams Ancestors are played by Eric Jacobs, Anna Lacjak, Genevieve LeBlanc, Colleen Lee, Kate Lubotsky, Katlin Miller, Randy Moorman, Mykl Navi, Lina Ramirez and Sarah Steen.

In a prolific career spanning six decades, Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches and drawings, many of which were famously published in The New Yorker. But it was his creation of characters that came to be known as The Addams Family that brought Addams his greatest acclaim. This magnificent new musical comedy is created by "Jersey Boys" authors Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and Drama Desk Award-winning composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party).
