The Addams Family at Stratford Playhouse

The award-winning Stratford Playhouse proudly announces its rendition of the hilarious musical, The Addams Family, which will be performed Jan. 25-Feb. 3, 2018. The weird and wonderfully beloved Addams Family created by cartoonist Charles Addams comes to devilish life in this bright and comically macabre new musical.

In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless, this quirky family still must deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family: the Addams kids are growing up! Gomez and Morticia’s now eighteen-year-old daughter, Wednesday upsets her family by bringing home her “normal” boyfriend and a big secret. A zany night unfolds with the rest of the Addams clan, including little brother Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandmama and Lurch. Even Thing and Cousin It make appearances.

The Addams Family was written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice with music and lyrics by Tony-winning composer Andrew Lippa and presented through special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide.
