Lutheran North Theatre Company Presents "The Addams Family"

The Addams Family is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The show is based upon The Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons, which depict a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Although numerous film and television adaptations of Addams' cartoons exist, the musical is the first stage show based on the characters.[1] The Addams Family is also the first show produced by Elephant Eye Theatricals.[2]

After a tryout in Chicago in 2009,[3] the musical opened on Broadway in April 2010. The original cast featured Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia.[4] The production closed on December 31, 2011, and a revised national tour of North America began in September 2011.

The Addams Family won several awards during its Broadway run including a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Set Design,[5] an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Set Design,[6] and the 2010 Drama League Award for Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre Award (presented to Nathan Lane).[7] The show was nominated for two Tony Awards, among other nominations.[8]

We wish to extend a big thank-you to Mrs. Cheryl Marie Freeman (Unit Production Manager), Mr. Rob Ellison (Tech Crew), and Mr. Jared Brown (Musical Director). To God Be The Glory!
