Fountain Hills Theater presents The Addams Family.
They’re
creepy and they’re kooky!This comical musical feast embraces the
wackiness in every family.It’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday
Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in
love with a sweet young man from a respectable family.And if that wasn’t
upsetting enough, Wednesday confides her love to 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.
In
the past decade, an increasing number of Hollywood movies have served
as the basis for stage musicals. This reversed a 60-year trend during
which musicals that were hits on Broadway, such as Show Boat, West Side
Story, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and others, were eventually
turned into successful films.
Artistic Director Peter J. Hill
has devoted the current season to this phenomenon with the season
comprised entirely of movies adapted to the stage.In bringing the creepy
and kooky Addams Family to the musical stage, the staff at FHT has
relied on the extensive history of the Addams many TV, Film and
Animation iterations.
The Addams Family is directed by Jason Whit and Choreographed by Gin Selfridge.
Presented through special arrangement and with all authorized
performance materials supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide. *Rated
