The Addam's Family - A New Musical

Children's Repertory of Oregon Workshops presents The Addams Family Musical. A family-friendly production, The Addams Family is appropriate for all ages. Running for four performances, The Addams Family Musical will be presented on Friday, April 21st at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 22nd at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. and then on Sunday at 2 p.m. for a final matinee.

The Addams Family Musical takes a wild and wacky spin on the creepy and lovable television show of the same name that became a cult-classic since it first aired in 1964. The TV show was based off of Charles Addams’ The New Yorker cartoons.  In the musical version, Wednesday Addams — the young “queen of darkness” from the TV show — is now a teenager who is engaged to marry a boy her parents have yet to meet. Morticia, the elegant matriarch of the Addams family, is in a sudden state of confusion and disbelief as she realizes her daughter is on the verge of becoming an adult. Wednesday wants her boyfriend, Lucas, and his parents to meet her quirky family. But at the same time she is mortified at the idea of shattering the “normal” image of her lifestyle.  There are lots of other surprises and scenarios created by various other members of the Addams clan.

Cast members include Jacob Molano (Gomez Addams), Alex Saindon (Morticia Addams), Kristin Owens (Wednesday Addams,  Andre Felkins and Owen Harklerode (alternating as Pugsley Addams), Hannah Rasmussen (Grandma Addams), Jacob Ternyik (Fester Addams), Ceasar Castillo (Lurch Addams), Cameron Utz (Lucas Beineke), Alizabeth Norton (Alice Beineke) and William Owens (Mal Beineke), to name a few.  There are 44 talented young stars in the mainstage cast, plus an additional 10 telegrammers, ready to steal your hearts from your chests (and your dollar bills from your wallets) in the lobby. 

Presented by a cast of area theater students, tickets are $18 for adults and $9 for youth 12 and under.  For tickets, visit www.eventcenter.org or call the FEC at 541-997-1994.  For more information on the show and the C.R.O.W. program, visit www.crowkids.com.
