Tenor/baritone vocals. Vaudeville-style Comedian, That one awkward family member who serves as the musical’s narrator. He’s larger than life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence.

Tenor Vocals. Attractive male. 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. Lucas is a ‘normal guy’ who’s a little dorky. Wednesday absolutely intrigues him.

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.
Groans Most Likely a Zombie Butler. The Addams butler who knows all, but says less. He speaks in moans and groans.
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 her daughter and her aren’t as close as they used to be.
Pop Soprano/Mezzo vocals. Adventurous daughter Wednesday is a girl who has the same dry wit and sensibility of her mother.

She longs for the approval of her parents but isn’t afraid to show her rebellious side.
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”.
