The Addams Family Musical

Mount Holyoke College Department of Film Media Theatre Presents: “The Addams Family” A New Musical Comedy
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 – SOUTH HADLEY, MA – The Mount Holyoke College Department of Film Media Theater proudly opens the 2024-25 season with a creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky favorite: “The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy.” This production, written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, breathes new life into the beloved, altogether ooky characters created by Charles Addams.
Join the magnificently morbid Addams family as they navigate a night filled with unexpected visitors and family secrets, challenging their quirky status quo. As they prepare to host a dinner for their daughter Wednesday’s new boyfriend and his “normal” family, hilarity and chaos ensue, forcing the iconic Addamses to confront their eccentricities and discover the true meaning of family. With a spectacularly spooky combination of witty humor, catchy songs, and heartwarming moments, this delightful musical explores themes of love, acceptance, and the beauty of being uniquely different.
“We are proud to welcome you to our first musical back at Mount Holyoke College in five years. Full of catchy tunes, sharp choreography, and lots of heart, we hope you’ll join the family and learn how to shoot a crossbow, tango, and fall in love with the darkness of the Addams.” - Director, Noah Ilya-Alexis Tuleja
