Addams Family musical comedy being presented by WSHS Drama Dept.
Sat, 03/05/2016
The West Seattle High School’s Drama Club & Music Department is presenting The Addams Family,
a musical comedy based on The Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams in a series of now famous cartoons, which depict a ghoulish American family whose tastes run to the macabre. The television show from the 1960's and later films became well known but this musical, which is the first stage show based on the characters, is based upon the cartoons rather than the television and film characters

About the Show:
That lovable family of creepy kooks is alive and well and living in their super-spooky mansion in Central Park. The Addams family, led by the elegantly gaunt and seemingly undead Morticia and her ever-devoted husband Gomez, is in turmoil. Their daughter Wednesday, now 18, finds herself falling in love—a sensation that is unsettling for both her and her family of endearing misfits. When the teen invites her new boyfriend, Lucas Beineke, over with his “normal” family to get better acquainted with the Addams household, comic chaos (including everything from an amorous giant squid to mixed-up potions to a scorching tango) ensues.
