Directed and musically directed by Teatro Co-Founder Andrew Bevis, with choreography by Teatro Co-Founder Nathan M. Wright, The Addams Family will transform the Teatro into a gothic wonderland.
“Bringing The Addams Family to life as Teatro’s first major production is a dream come true. This cast is bursting with talent, personality, and a deliciously dark sense of humour—everything you’d want from the Addams clan. We can’t wait for audiences to meet them, fall in love with them, and join us in making theatrical mischief at our brand-new home in Leichhardt,” said Co-Founders of Teatro, Nathan M. Wright & Andrew Bevis.
The spectacular musical comedy from Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, writers of the multi award-winning hit musical Jersey Boys, with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, promises a devilishly good night at the theatre.
