BREAKDOWN
The Addams Family Character Breakdown and Descriptions
Morticia Addams : Alto/Mezzo Sop. (G3 – Bb5) (Pre-Cast) Looking for understudy only.
Gomez Addams : Tenor (Bb2 – G4), 35-55: An attractive man of Spanish descent, who adores his wife, takes great pride in his children, and is immensely proud to be an Addams; caught between his daughter and his wife he feels completely trapped and unable to make either happy, which is his greatest joy; must have great comedic timing, move well, and strong vocals. Fencing skills a plus.
Uncle Fester : Tenor (C3 – C5), 30-50: Serves as the musical’s narrator; rotund and child-like, hugely enthusiastic and totally incorrigible; a vaudevillian, needs strong comedy and tenor vocals.
Wednesday Addams : Strong pop voice with belt (A3 – E5), 18-25 to play 18: Gothic in a sexy way, witty with a terrifically dry sense of humor; just wants her family to be “normal” for one night to meet the parents of the boy she’s fallen in love with; strong pop belt vocals.
Pugsley Addams : Strong high vocals (unchanged voice) (Pre-cast)
Grandma Addams : Strong character vocals (G4 – F5) 35+ to play a feisty 102 yr. old woman: Fun and quirky, capable of a comedic physical presence; comedic actress with strong character vocals.
Lurch : Bass (Eb2-E4) 25-50: Seeking actors at least 6’1 - the taller the better; a man of very, very few words, often spoken at half speed; most of what he utters is long, plaintive groans, some tinged with irony or exasperation; must have true low bass vocals.
Mal Beineke : bari-tenor (C3-A4) 35-50: Stuffy father of 19-year-old Lucas and exasperated husband to his rhyming wife, Alice; thinks the Addams’ are beyond strange and does not want to spend time having dinner with them, much less be related.
Alice Beineke : soprano/high belt (Ab3- G#5), 35-45: Mother of 19-year-old Lucas, seemingly mousy housewife who’s devoted to her family so she puts aside her own desires; while at the Addams’ family dinner party, she drinks a potion that causes her to let her hair down and speak her truth; very strong comedic singer/actress.
Lucas Beineke : Pop Tenor (C3-C5), 18-25 to play 19: Attractive, in shape young man; fell in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her; experiences the youthful pain and drama of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addams family.
The Ancestors : SATB, (casting 5 Men & 5 Women) 20 and older: Strong contemporary singers/dancers/physical movers. Must be able to hold tight harmonies.
