10 roles

Gomez AddamsMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Tenor/baritone vocals A suave, yet comical man who takes great pride in his family and revels in all it means to be an Addams. He struggles keeping his daughter’s secret from his wife, whom he adores more than death. Husband to Morticia.

Uncle FesterMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Tenor/baritone vocals Vaudeville-style Comedian, That one awkward family member who serves as the musical’s narrator. Larger than life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. Uncle Fester is incorrigible and, except for the good nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, would ordinarily be under lock and key.

Lucas BeinekeMale18-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Tenor Vocals Fell in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her. Experiences the youthful pain and drama of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addams family. Wednesday absolutely intrigues him.

Mal BeinekeMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

High baritone/tenor vocals Stuffy father of Lucas and exasperated husband to his rhyming Stepford wife, Alice. At one time was a follower of a grungy, dark band, but has lost that side of himself and has become a stereotypical businessman. Always looking out for his family’s future and how they might look to his colleagues and the rest of the world.

LurchMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Most Likely a Zombie Butler The Addams butler who knows all, but says less. Speaks in moans and groans.

Morticia AddamsFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Alto/mezzo vocals Strong Matriarch Attractive, strong willed woman – the strength of the family. An easy comedic actress with a dry wit. Feels her husband is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the secret out. She is the real head of the family and fears she and her her daughter aren’t as close as they used to be.

Wednesday AddamsMale18-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Pop Soprano/Mezzo vocals Adventurous daughter Wednesday is a girl who has the same dry wit and sensibility of her mother. Finds love with a “normal” boy (Lucas) and wants to introduce his family to hers. She experiences the lovesick drama that comes with first love and when two very different families meet. She longs for the approval of her parents but isn’t afraid to show her rebellious side.

Alice BeinekeFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Soprano vocals Charming housewife, comedic actress Mother of Lucas, devoted to her family so she puts aside her own desires. Alice is a quirky female who often speaks in rhymes and falls prey to the latest fads or quick fixes to her family or personal life. While at the Addams family dinner party, she drinks a potion that causes her to let her hair down and speak the truth rather than always appearing as “perfect”

GrandmaFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Character vocals Comedic She’s one feisty old woman. Fun and quirky, but don’t mess with her. Grandma often schemes with Pugsley and offers advice when needed. She’s more of an oddball than a typical, comforting grandmother figure.

Addams Ancestors/EnsembleBoth genders18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

All vocal ranges Ancestors of the Addams family now live on ‘the other side’, but are summoned once a year to come celebrate with the family. They help tell the story, offer advice and interact with the characters throughout the play.
