SHOW SYNOPSIS

The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’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.

AUDITION & REHEARSAL DETAILS

HOW TO PREPARE
• Have a one minute to a minute and a half (1:00–1:30) excerpt of any song ready that showcases your ability to bring a character to life through your voice. We encourage bold, distinctive vocal choices that demonstrate personality, storytelling, and character rather than simply vocal ability. Choose a song that allows you to have fun, take risks, and show us your creativity! This does not need to be a song from Broadway/musical theater canon, nor does it need to be in the style of the show.
• Fill out interest form here.
• Fill out the vocal time slot here.
• Dress appropriately for the dancing portion of the audition.
• No one will be permitted to observe the audition.
• Your picture may be taken as part of the audition process. This will be to facilitate casting, costume, and make-up requirements for the show.
• You may be asked to stay longer after your audition if the director needs to speak with you.


The Read Thru will be on Monday, December 14th at 7 PM at 30 by Ninety Theatre. Please make sure to check your schedule before committing. Rehearsals will be December 15th – March 5th and will start at 7 PM on weeknights. Please keep in mind that you will not be called to every rehearsal. A tentative rehearsal calendar will be available to view at auditions.

ROLES AVAILABLE

** Actors must be at least 15 years or older to audition. The only exception is those auditioning for the role of Pugsley (10-14 years old).

Gomez Addams || Stage Age: 35-55, [Vocal Range: Bb2 – G4] — A suave man of Spanish descent who adores his wife and children and takes immense pride in being an Addams. Gomez finds himself trapped between his daughter and his wife, being forced to hide Wednesday’s big secret from Morticia. He has great comedic timing and is a strong dancer. Spanish accent is a plus!
Morticia Addams || Stage Age: 35-55, [Vocal Range: G3 – Bb5] — The beautiful, leggy and mysterious head of the Addams family who believes strongly in family tradition. Morticia is unnerved thinking that Gomez is hiding something from her. She is confident and sexy with a side of dry wit. She is a strong mover (tango skills a plus!)
Wednesday Addams || Stage Age: 18-22, [Vocal Range: A3 – E5] — Gothic big sister Wednesday who has her father’s heart and her mother’s sensibility falls in love with a “normal” boy who she brings home to meet the family. Wednesday is trying to balance her relationships with “strange” family with that of her new love and his “normal” family. Wednesday showcases compassion, a bit of stubbornness and strong will. She has a strong belt.
Pugsley Addams || Stage Age: 10-15, [Vocal Range: A3 – F5] — The youngest of the Addams Family, Pugsley loves to be tortured by his big sister. He is lost trying to figure out his place now that she has a new boyfriend and family dynamics are changing. Pugsley is charming and funny, ideally with an unchanged singing voice.
Uncle Fester || Stage Age: 30-50, [Vocal Range: C3 – G4 (optional C5)] — Serving as the narrator of the show, Uncle Fester is lovable, childish, enthusiastic and highly incorrigible. Fester has great comedic timing and a tenor voice. Ukulele skills a plus!
Grandma || Stage Age: 102, [Vocal Range: G4 – F5] — Fun, quirky and feisty, Grandma always has a trick up her sleeve. Grandma is wise, wacky and sometimes a bit crass. She has great comedic timing and physicality.
Lurch || Stage Age: 25-50, [Vocal Range: Eb2 – E4] — A man of few words, Lurch is the Addams Family butler. His unmistakable commanding presence is accented by grunts, moans and deliberate movement. Must have great non-verbal story-telling abilities (think: facial expressions and sound). Lurch has a rich bass voice.
Mal Beinecke || Stage Age: 35-55, [Vocal Range: C3 – A4] — The uptight and father of Lucas and cold-shouldered husband to Alice, cynical Mal meets the Addams with skepticism. He finds the Addams to be too bizarre for his liking and cannot fathom being related to them.
Alice Beinecke || Stage Age: 35-55, [Vocal Range: Ab3 – G#5] — Lucas’s mother and Mal’s wife, Alice is strongly devoted to her family. She presents herself as reserved and collected (even when speaking in rhyme) until she learns to unleash her wild side at dinner with the Addams. She is a strong comedic actress with a strong belt.
Lucas Beinecke || Stage Age: 18-22, [Vocal Range: C3 – C5] — The hopeful romantic and son of Alice & Mal, Lucas has fallen in love with Wednesday and intends to marry her. He is optimistic and hopeful yet struggles to find the balance between his ‘normal’ family and the macabre Addams. Strong singer.
The Ancestors || Stage Age: All Ages, [Vocal Range: All Ranges, male and female] — The Addams ancestors from various eras serve as the chorus for the show and help bring the story to life. They will be featured both singing and dancing throughout the entire show (once relapsed from the family crypt!). Seeking actors with both vocals and dancing abilities.
