Addams Family Values: a Campy Cult Classic
Addams Family Values: A Campy Cult Classic By: Katie Baranauskas The Addams family is quite the odd bunch. Created by Charles Addams in a 1938 comic strip, the family has received countless renditions of their misadventures, including the 1993 sequel to The Addams Family: Addams Family Values. This is a rare instance in which the sequel is better than the original. The cast is by far one of the best, including greats like Anjelica Huston as Morticia, Christina Ricci as Wednesday, and Christopher Lloyd as Fester, as well as so many others. Every actor plays to their strengths, as well as their character's strengths, to craft a wonderful mix of comedy and drama. Some characters such as Fester and Gomez Addams have extreme slapstick comedy, whereas other characters such as Wednesday and Morticia Addams have a dry humor that also makes the audience chuckle: no laugh track needed. Along with all these fantastic characters comes an equally fantastic villain in Debbie Jelinsky, played by Joan Cusack. Debbie is immediately explored as a two-faced black widow, who will do anything to get the wealth and opulence she desires. Joan Cusack did the absolute most in this performance, and she looked fabulous as well. All of this is topped with an amazing script, which produced hundreds of lines I use to this day. A whole other article could be written on the iconic quotes from this movie, but my all-time favorite has to be when Morticia tells Debbie in the most monotone voice, "All that I could forgive, but Debbie… pastels?" This movie has just the right balance of creepiness and camp, reminding me of a Disney story set in a Tim Burton-esque world, where being "weird" is the new normal and everything is tinged with a gothic filter.

ADDAMS FAMILY CONCERT VERSION Character Descriptions
ADDAMS FAMILY CONCERT VERSION Character Descriptions Addams Family Members Gomez Addams, Tenor: Gomez is an attractive man of Spanish descent, who adores his wife, Morticia. He takes great pride in his children, Wednesday & Pugsley. He is immensely proud to be an Addams. Wednesday has told her father that she is getting married, however, she has made him promise not to tell her mother until after the dinner party. Gomez and Morticia do not keep secrets from each other. He feels completely trapped having to keep his daughter happy by keeping her secret and keeping his wife happy by telling her what the secret is. Keeping them both happy is his greatest job. He must have great comedic timing, move well, and have strong vocals. Fencing skills a plus. Morticia Addams, Alto: She is beautiful and the real head of the family; the critical and moving force behind it. This role requires an easy comedic sense with a sexy, dry wit. She feels her husband, Gomez, is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the secret out. Morticia must move and sing well. Wednesday Addams, Mezzo/Sop, Strong belt: Wednesday is the goth daughter of Gomez and Morticia. She is a charming girl who has the same dry wit and sensibility of her mother. Wednesday has fallen in love with a “normal” boy (Lucas) and to get married. She just wants her family to be “normal” for one night to meet Luca’s parents. She needs strong pop belt vocals and a good sense of sarcasm. Pugsley Addams, strong high vocals, Tenor (or Alto): Pugsley is a charming, funny, husky boy (or girl who can play a boy) who loves being tortured by his sister.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

The Addams Family
The Addams Family Aaaaaaahh ... The intoxicating smell of auditions ....! You are welcome to consider the information below and if interested, we invite you to audition for this exciting, challenging musical to be presented in May 2016 at the Devonport Entertainment and Convention Centre. THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a contemporary musical comedy based on the cartoons and popular TV series inspired by the creations of the legendary American cartoonist Charles Addams (1912-1998). http://www.theaddamsfamilymusical.com THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story. It’s every parent’s nightmare. Your little girl has suddenly become a young woman, and what’s worse, has fallen deliriously in love with a ‘normal’, sweet, smart young man from a respectable ‘normal’ family. Yes, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has a “normal” boyfriend, and for parents Gomez and Morticia, it’s a shocking development that turns the Addams house upside down when they are forced to host a dinner for the young man and his parents. Our production will feature a cast of 20+ zany characters from the popular TV and cartoon series – Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Lurch, some new characters Mal, Alice and Lucas Beineke, and a group of 10-12 highly engaged Addams Ancestors who help progress the adventure. Here is an extract from a review of the show: “ ... the slight plot has the comically morbid family in a quandary as a nearly-grown-up Wednesday falls in love with Lucas, a boy from the right side of the tracks. His straight-laced parents, the Beinekes, come to the decrepit Addams manse for a dinner party where secrets are revealed and the young lovebirds break up over their differences.
