The Axelrod Performing Arts Academy presents The Addams Family, the new musical by Andrew Lippa with a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. America’s favorite “creepy and kooky” family, The Addams Family was a hit TV series in the 1960s and the subject of five Hollywood films. The musical is based on Charles Addams’ original single-panel cartoons and the musical focuses on an 18-year-old Wednesday who has fallen in love with a “normal” teenager from Ohio and the chaos that ensues as the Addams face the possibility of changing their traditional macabre ways. The Addams Family is directed by Michael LaFleur with music direction by Michael Gilch.
