Kids and Teens Needed for "The Addams Family" Musical

Children ages 9 and up are welcome to audition for "The Addams Family" Musical. Please see the details below. About the project: This isn't your average family reunion! Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, and Grandma are all here, and their delightfully spooky world is about to be turned upside down. When Wednesday Addams falls in love with a "normal" guy and invites him and his family over for dinner, the stage is set for a comically creepy collision of families, secrets, and plenty of Addams Family antics. With catchy tunes, witty dialogue, and the iconic Addams Family charm, this musical is a guaranteed treat for the whole family (even the slightly morbid ones!). Prepare for an evening of laughter, love, and a healthy dose of the delightfully bizarre. "The Addams Family" promises each audience member an unforgettable theatrical experience that you won't want to miss!​ Additional info: Children, ages 9-13: All youth auditioners must be prepared to sing Pugsley’s song, “What If”, even if you are not auditioning for Pugsley; young auditioners will not need to sing any other songs. ​Their audition will consist of singing “What If” and group acting and dancing workshops. The environment will be fun and collaborative! There will be openings for a small number of children to participate in The Addams Family. Pugsley, however, is the only speaking role that is open to young performers. Both children and teens will be considered for puppeteering opportunities.
