“It’s a fun show that has some really good meaning if you look beyond the jokes, showing the unique relationships that tie families together,” said Judy Brown, director of the theatre department at MELHS. “The music is really good, and all together it creates a great show.”
Musical accompaniment for the show will be provided by a pit orchestra made up of a combination of MELHS students and professional musicians.
The show will feature Sofia Schwartzkopf as Wednesday Addams, Christian Greer as Gomez Addams, Claire Terracina as Morticia Addams, Ganyn Krausz as Uncle Fester, Katie Wright as Grandma, Moira Krueger as Pugsley Addams, Ethan Lindsey as Lurch, Andrew Masinelli as Mal Beineke, Rebekah Lindsey as Alice Beineke, and Henry Schumacher as Lucas Beineke.
