Dancers and Singers Needed for "The Addams Family" The Musical

All chorus members will be assigned an Addams Family Ancestor "character" and therefore have their own cameo character to play. Ensemble members should be able to move well, as the ensemble will be required to dance in many songs. Various vocal ranges. ​​Looking for 2 Sops, 2 Altos, 2 Tenors, and 2 Basses.

Morticia is the real 'head' of the Addams family, the matriarch. She is concerned her husband is hiding something, and will use all her wiles and tactics to lure his secret out. An easy comedic actress with a sexy, dry wit. She is glamorous; witty... and given to low-keyed rhapsodies about her garden of deadly nightshade, henbane, and dwarf's hair. A strong dancer / mover with alto / mezzo soprano vocals.

The goth daughter of Gomez and Morticia, Wednesday leads with a dark cloud exterior, but deep down she has her father’s heart and her mother’s dry wit and sensibility. Wednesday finds love with a "normal" boy (Lucas) and wants to introduce his family to hers. She is stuck between sticking with the traditions of the Addams family and moving forward with her relationship. Strong Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano, with pop belt vocals.

Grandmama Addams is a kooky elder, a feisty 102-year-old woman. Fun and quirky, but don’t mess with Grandma. This disrespectful old hag is the mother of Gomez... She willingly helps with the dishes, cheats at solitaire and is roughly dishonest... foolishly good-natured... fumbling, weak character... is easily fooled. Grandma acts as the wise, if sometimes wacky, sage of the family.

Wednesday’s little brother, Pugsley is a danger-seeking, charming, funny, boy - who loves being tortured by his sister. Wednesday’s relationship with Lucas has left Pugsley with separation anxiety. He wants to ensure he won’t lose Wednesday to her new boyfriend so he takes matters into his own hands. An energetic monster of a boy... and a dedicated troublemaker. Strong, high vocals.

The father of the Addams family. Gomez takes great pride in his family and revels in all it means to be an "Addams." He struggles with having to keep his daughter's secret from his wife, whom he adores more than death. He is pulled in different directions in order to appease them both. Smart, comedic actor with tenor vocals. Husband to Morticia, if indeed they are married at all... a crafty schemer, but also a jolly man in his own way... though sometimes misguided.

The narrator of the show, Uncle Fester serves as the musical's narrator. He is larger than life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. A vaudeville style comedian with tenor vocals. 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... the eyes are pig-like and deeply embedded... he likes to fish, but usually employs dynamite... Strong tenor singing voice.

Mother of Lucas, devoted to her family so she puts aside her own desires. A typical suburban mom with typical suburban mom problems. Because of a cold relationship with her husband Mal, she has refocused her love on Lucas. She is prone to speaking in rhyme when upset. While at the Addams Family dinner party, she drinks a potion that causes her to let her hair down and speak her truth. Comedic actress with soprano / belt vocals.

Mal is Lucas’ stuffy father and an exasperated husband to his rhyming wife, Alice. A typical conservative suburban father that’s cynical of life and especially the Addams family. Always looking out for his family. Has difficulty accepting his reality and pretends to be better than others. At one time he was a follower of The Grateful Dead but has lost that side of himself. High baritone / tenor vocals

A hopeful romantic and the son of Mal and Alice Beineke, Lucas is the 'average' young man who has fallen in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her. The epitome of the love- torn teenager, Lucas experiences the youthful pain and drama of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addams family. He writes poetry and appears to be a traditionalist, but he harbors an unexpected crazy and dark side, and appreciates the macabre…

Lurch is the Addams family butler, who knows all the family secrets. A man of very few words, Lurch mostly responds in drawn out moans, groans and grunts — without becoming a cartoon version of himself. His movement is always very slow. Must be a bass. Must have great non-verbal story-telling abilities: facial expressions and sound.
