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.
The Addams Family features over 50 young stars ranging in age from 4 - early 20's C.R.O.W. prides itself on providing the highest caliber production values, including costumes, sets and special effects one might find in much larger metro areas.
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.
