A classic of quirky musical theater
The musical is based on characters created by Charles Addams and tells, in the musical version by Andrew Lippa, with a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, a new story revolving around Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Fester, and the rest of the morbid clan. The official piece page describes the Addams as a family leading a different life in Central Park than everyone around them; therein lies the dramatic tension that makes the piece so vibrant. The production has been perceived as a favorite among audiences in Germany for years because it cleverly intertwines family conflict, love story, and grotesque humor.

Stage magic between goosebumps and laughter
Musically and scenically, The Addams Family thrives on pace, contrast, and precise acting skills. Reviews repeatedly highlight how much the piece benefits from pointed direction, lovingly crafted theater world, and an ensemble that unhesitatingly exploits the mix of irony and heart. It is precisely the balance between morbid surface and warm family core that gives the musical that theatrical atmosphere which allows the audience to both smile and empathize.
