Singers Wanted for "The Addams Family" Musical Show
The company is holding auditions for "The Addams Family" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Based on comic characters created by Charles Addams in a series of magazine cartoons and popularized by the 1960’s tv series and 1990’s movies. In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, the quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus: the Addams kids are growing up. While the Addamses have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years, their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday is now a young woman and has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited his parents to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change. Additional info: Please come prepared with 32-bar/1-minute cut of any Broadway-style song. Must have instrumental accompaniment on a Bluetooth-capable device. Speaker provided A piano accompanist will not be provided. There is no need to prepare a monologue or dance routine. Auditions will include readings from the THE ADDAMS FAMILY script. A group dance audition will take place at the top of the audition session each night.
11 roles
A suave man of Spanish descent who adores his wife and children and takes immense pride in being an Addams. Gomez finds himself trapped between his daughter and his wife, being forced to hide Wednesday’s big secret from Morticia. He has great comedic timing and is a strong dancer.
The darkly mysterious matriarch of the Addams family who believes strongly in family tradition. Morticia is unnerved thinking that Gomez is hiding something from her. She is confident and poised with a side of dry wit. Tango skills a plus! Her movements are understated but her look can speak volumes.
Gothic big sister Wednesday who has her father’s heart and her mother’s sensibility falls in love with a “normal” boy who she brings home to meet the family. Wednesday demonstrates compassion, a bit of stubbornness, and strong will. She has a strong singing voice
Serving as the narrator of the show, Uncle Fester is lovable, childish, enthusiastic, and highly incorrigible. Fester has great comedic timing and a tenor voice. Ukulele skills a plus!
Stage Age: 102 Fun, quirky and feisty, Grandma always has a trick up her sleeve. Grandma is wise, wacky, and sometimes a bit crass. She has great comedic timing and physicality.
A man of few words, Lurch is the Addams Family butler. His unmistakable commanding presence is accented by grunts, moans, and deliberate movement. Must have great non-verbal storytelling abilities. Lurch has a rich bass voice.
The uptight father of Lucas and cold-shouldered husband to Alice, cynical Mal meets the Addamses with skepticism. He finds them to be too bizarre for his liking and cannot fathom being related to them.
Lucas’s mother and Mal’s wife, Alice is strongly devoted to her family. She presents herself as reserved and collected (even when speaking in rhyme) until she learns to unleash her wild side at dinner with the Addamses. She is a strong comedic actress with a strong belt.
The hopeful romantic and son of Alice & Mal, Lucas has fallen in love with Wednesday and intends to marry her. He is optimistic and hopeful yet struggles to find the balance between his ‘normal’ family and the macabre Addamses. Strong singer.
