5 roles
Vocal Range: A3 – F5 (alto) Pugsley is a funny, inventive, and sometimes annoying little brother who loves to be tortured by his big sister. Aware that family dynamics are changing around him, he wants to ensure he won’t lose his sister so he takes matters into his own hands. Believably age 12, but may be played by a child/teen actor. Strong, high vocals.
Vocal Range; A3 - E5 (pop soprano/mezzo) Goth big sister Wednesday has her father’s heart and her mother’s sensibility (as well as her deadly dry wit). Having fallen in love with a “normal” boy, Wednesday must figure out how to introduce him and his parents to her unique family. Wednesday showcases compassion, a bit of stubbornness, and a strong will. She has a strong belt.
Vocal Range; C3 – G4 (optional C5; tenor/baritone) Serving as the musical’s comedic narrator, Uncle Fester brings their own unique personality to the show. They are lovable, childish, enthusiastically strange, and highly incorrigible (except for the good nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, they would ordinarily be under lock and key!). Fester has great comedic timing and a tenor voice. Ukulele or other instrument skills a plus!
Vocal Range: C3 – C5 (pop tenor/baritone) Smart, attractive, and a bit dorky, ‘normal guy’ Lucas has fallen head over heels in love with Wednesday and intends to marry her. He is optimistic and hopeful, yet struggles to find the balance between his ‘normal’ family and the macabre Addams. Strong singer.
Ancestors of the Addams family now live on ‘the other side’, but are summoned once a year to come celebrate with the family. Dressed in the attire of their various eras of Addams family history, the Ancestors serve as the ensemble (chorus) for the show. They help bring the story to life, sometimes offering advice and interacting with the characters throughout the play. They appear often, including singing and dancing in several numbers, as well as silently watching.
