Singing Audition for Musical "The Addams Family"
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking singers for musical "The Addams Family". See the details below. About the play: Wednesday Addams has fallen in love with a perfectly ordinary young man. There’s just one problem: she wants her family to behave normally when his parents come to dinner. For Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester and the rest of the Addams clan, that may be the most frightening request they’ve ever heard. The Broadway hit brings the family’s gloriously gloomy humour to life with big musical numbers, a dinner party gone wonderfully wrong and plenty of surprises from the family crypt. The audition will consist of a scene and a song. (Note: For some characters, there are two scenes to prepare). Interest in a Specific Role: If you’d like to be considered for a specific role, please prepare the sides - provided scene(s) - for that character. You can find the auditions sides in the link provided when you sign up for your audition slot. Please also prepare the Addams Family song - music and track provided at the same link. If auditioning for Wednesday - please instead prepare ‘Pulled’(music and track included). These DO NOT have to be memorized - you can hold the pages for both the scene and the song. Just be familiar with the scene, melody and the words! You can also prepare of a song of your own choosing if you would prefer! In this case, please still prepare the scene. If you're interested, please apply.

The beautiful and mysterious head of the Addams family who believes strongly in family tradition. Morticia is unnerved thinking that Gomez is hiding something from her. She is confident with a side of dry wit.

Serving as the narrator of the show, Uncle Fester is lovable, childish, enthusiastic and highly incorrigible.
Fun, quirky and feisty, Grandma always has a trick up her sleeve. Grandma is wise, wacky and sometimes a bit crass.
A man of few words, Lurch is the Addams Family butler. His unmistakable commanding presence is accented by grunts, moans and deliberate movement.
The uptight and father of Lucas and cold-shouldered husband to Alice, cynical Mal meets the Addams with skepticism. He finds the Addams 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 Addams.
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 Addams.
The Addams ancestors from various eras serve as the chorus for the show and help bring the story to life. They will be featured both singing and dancing throughout the entire show (once released from the family crypt!).
