The Addams Family - Das Musical in Potsdam

This stage adaptation of Charles Addams' beloved ghoulish family brings the macabre Addamses to life in a musical comedy. Featuring music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, the show follows Wednesday Addams as she falls in love with a "normal" young man, Lucas Beineke, and invites his family to dinner at the Addams mansion. Chaos ensues as the two families clash, secrets are revealed, and the ancestors join in the fun.

Attendees can expect a lively evening filled with memorable songs like "When You're an Addams," "Full Disclosure," and "Crazier Than You," performed by a talented cast. The production captures the darkly comic spirit of the original cartoons, with a story that balances family dynamics, romance, and supernatural antics.

This Potsdam performance offers a chance to see the first stage show based on the iconic characters, which originally premiered on Broadway in 2010. The musical earned critical acclaim, including a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Set Design, and features a score that blends humor and heart.
