The Addams Family
Adults will remember the cult TV show from the 1960s, whilst the younger generation will most likely be familiar with the finger clicking TV theme 'they’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky'.
Whatever your memories, the Kilvington version of the show is sure to delight. The show has most of the familiar characters such as Morticia, Gomez, Uncle Fester, Pugsley, Wednesday and Grandma.
In this musical, Wednesday is all grown up and falls in love with a ‘normal boy’. When the two families meet there is mayhem.
This will be a fabulous show. Tickets will be available early Term 2.
