When The Addams Family comic was first published in 1938, no one could have predicted that this mysterious family would still capture our hearts (and terrify us) nearly a century later. Charles Addams created this kooky, creepy family as a parody of the American ideal, and at first glance, the Addams family is nothing but a bunch of oddballs. They revel in the macabre and have a very interesting definition of fun. But look a little closer, and his tight-knit family might actually be closer to the ideal than we may at first assume.
In this musical, dark and gloomy Wednesday Addams falls in love with Ohioan Lucas Beineke, and the parents are coming for dinner. Anyone would be shocked to show up for dinner at this kooky house in Central Park with no furniture, a moat, a zombie maid and someone dating the moon. The Beinekes, with their unique breed of normal, are especially disturbed by the "creeped out weirdos."
