Dancers Wanted for "The Addams Family" Show
Male and female performers are invited to audition for "The Addams Family" show. Please see the details below. About the project: The Addams Family is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The show is based on The Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons, which depict a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Although numerous film and television adaptations of Addams' cartoons exist, the musical is the first stage show based on the characters. The Addams Family is also the first show produced by Elephant Eye Theatricals. After a tryout in Chicago in 2009, the musical opened on Broadway in April 2010. The original cast featured Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia. The production closed on December 31, 2011, and a revised national tour of North America began in September 2011. Additional info: All actors are asked to prepare a verse and a chorus of a song from the show. If auditioning for a specific character, please be prepared to sing a verse and chorus in one of their songs. All actors will also participate in cold reads and a dance portion of the audition. Production July 12, 13, 14, 19 & 20, 2024. See the attachment for the song parts. If interested, please apply.
