AVAILABLE ROLES

 

All ethnicities and gender identities will be considered for all roles.

 

GOMEZ ADDAMS (M, 40s-60s): The patriarch of the Addams Family – a loving father, a passionate husband, and (possibly) a homicidal maniac. (Vocal Range: Bb2-G4)

 

MORTICIA ADDAMS (F, late 30s-60s): The mother of the brood and object of Gomez’s adoration. She is a strong matriarch and a beautiful, but potentially dangerous, presence. Strong dance skills a plus. (Vocal Range: G3-Bb5)

 

UNCLE FESTER (M, 30s-70s): Gomez’s oddly sexless brother.  He is in love with the moon (literally). The narrator of the show. Willing to shave head a plus. (Vocal Range: C3-G4)

 

GRANDMA (F or M, Ancient): The Addams grandmother (unsure what side). Tiny, yet fierce, matriarchal figure, whose witchlike presence creates dire consequences for the families. (Vocal Range: G4-F5)

 

WEDNESDAY ADDAMS (F, 18-early 20s): The main focus of the love story within the production. She is battling her natural dark nature with the discovery of the brightness of being in love. (Vocal Range: A3-E5)

 

PUGSLEY ADDAMS (M or F to play Male, Pre-teen to Teenager): Wednesday’s younger brother.  Fears losing the torturous relationship he has with his sister. Ideally on the chubby side. (Vocal Range: A3-F5)

 

LURCH (M, 20s – 80s): The Addams incredibly tall, possibly undead, mostly silent butler. Has very few lines beyond grunts and growls, but does have one solo in the finale. (Vocal Range: Eb2-E4)

 

LUCAS BEINEKE (M, 20s): Wednesday’s love interest. A good-looking, wealthy, seemingly normal young man who is inexplicably attracted to the dark beauty that is Wednesday. (Vocal Range: C3-C5)

 

MAL BEINEKE (M, 40s-60s): Lucas’ stuck-up businessman father. Must be able to bring the humor to this humorless banker-type and show the marital love buried deep within his complacency. (Vocal Range: C3-A4)

 

ALICE BEINEKE (F, 40s-60s): Lucas’ frustrated, yet loving mother. She longs to break the bonds of marital boredom and find passion once more. (Vocal Range: Ab3-G#5)

 

ADDAMS ANCESTORS (4 M, 4 F): The ensemble for the show. Must have strong vocal and dance skills.
