Overview
THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, 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 wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY Younger@Part® is the authorized 30-minute edition of the Broadway musical for elementary schools and youth theatres (grades 2 – 5). Through a series of workshops, our Younger@Part® musicals are tailor-made for younger actors. Song keys are changed where needed, songs and scenes are edited for time and content, while keeping the spirit of the original Broadway show intact. There are great parts for girls, boys, and can include any sized ensemble/chorus, who appear throughout the show.
Each Younger@Part® title comes complete with Performance Tracks, Guide Vocal Tracks, Director’s Guide, and 30 Student Scripts.
