Examples of the Ancestor characters are Bride, Groom, Stewardess, Saloon Girl, Flapper, Pilgrim, Conquistador, Caveman, Cavewoman, Soldier, Sailor, etc. Just because you like a role doesn't mean you are suited for it, and you want to have the strongest audition possible!Ĭarefully read the character descriptions and requirements below.Īll chorus members will be assigned an Addams Family Ancestor "character" and therefore have their own cameo character to play.
As you get to know the show and the music, please pay attention to the characters' vocal ranges and required skill sets. Sometimes we can slightly adjust the key of a character's solo song, but we prefer to keep accompaniment in the original key. However, please choose roles that best reflect your talents.
You should audition for the roles you are attracted to. Generally, we at ACT-1 are open to gender-blind and re-gendered casting for nearly all roles. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. In addition to the original characters created by Addams, the musical introduces the new roles of Mal, Alice, and Lucas Beineke, who are described as "straight arrow Midwesterners." The ensemble consists of a group of Addams Family ancestors, each from a different time period. 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. THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a magnificently macabre new musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, and Drama Desk Award winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party).
