Your favorite devilishly delightful family comes to life in “The Addams Family.” This macabre new musical comedy is “a visually satisfying, rib-tackling, lunatic musical that will entertain you to death!,” according to Toronto Post City.

It’s every father’s worst nightmare. In this original story, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. As if that weren’t upsetting enough, she 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.

Charles Addams is most widely known for the creation of The Addams Family, characters that formed the basis of the TV show which first appeared in 1964. Now famous, Morticia, Fester, Gomez, Wednesday, Pugsley, Grandmama, Lurch and Thing existed as various forms and aspects in Addams’ cartoons prior to the sitcom.

Born in Westfield, N.J., in 1912, Addams’ prodigal artistic talent led him to become one of America’s best cartoonists. In 1933 at just 21 years old, The New Yorker first published his work. Addams went on to become one of that magazine’s marquee contributors until his death in 1988.

His body of work spans almost 60 years and is estimated to contain several thousand works. More than 15 books of his drawing have been published, appearing in many languages across the globe. Addams’ works appear in a number of prestigious permanent collections including The New York Public Library, The Museum of the City of New York and The Library of Congress.
