THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it's every father's nightmare. 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 ADDAMS FAMILY is based on the cartoon characters created by Charles Addams, who also inspired the television show that first aired in 1964. This devilishly delightful musical features music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. Songs featured in this production are "When You're An Addams", "Pulled", "Wednesday's Growing Up", "The Moon and Me", and more.

Derby Dinner's production of THE ADDAMS FAMILY is directed by Lee Buckholz with Musical Direction by Scott Bradley and Choreography by Heather Paige Folsom. The cast will include Bobby Conte, Isabel Nesti, Chris Bryant, Kaylee Annable, Cary Wiger, Aidan Singleton, Elizabeth Loos, Mitchell Lewis, and many more!

THE ADDAMS FAMILY is recommended for ages 13 & up.
