The Addams Family, a New Musical Comedy is
based on the characters from the iconic TV series,
but features an original story, and it's every father's
nightmare. Gomez Addam's daughter, 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, she
confides in her father and begs him not to tell her
mother. Now, he must do something he's never
done before; keep a secret from his beloved wife.
Everything will change for the whole family on the
fateful night they host a dinner for her 'normal'
boyfriend and his parents.
