Get ready to experience everyone’s favorite spooky, kooky family on stage in Philadelphia.
The Addams Family: The Musical is currently performing at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. This production runs through Nov. 1.
Damon Bonetti and Lindsey Bliven portray Gomez and Morticia Addams. Both present the show as big in scope, with comedy and dancing.
“There’s something for everybody. There’s that comedy. There’s the dancing,” Bliven told Action News 6abc. “This show really has it all.”
The storyline follows Morticia and Gomez, a loving, iconic couple, with two children, Wednesday and Pugsley. Wednesday secretly plans to marry and navigates family dynamics when Lucas, her groom-to-be, and his Midwest relatives visit.
“They’re not used to these crazy and kooky New Yorkers, so drama develops between the families,” Bonetti explained to 6abc.
The plot includes Wednesday’s romance and the clash between the New York Addams clan and Lucas’s conventional family, blending dark humor with heartfelt drama.
An ensemble of eccentric individuals, distinctive costumes, and a mix of dance styles — from tap to tango — underscore the epic, memorable music.
