Whether audiences loved the original season or missed the opportunity to see it, this return offers another chance to enter the delightfully unconventional world of one of entertainment’s most recognisable families.
A Spooky Family Reunion on the Sydney Stage
The Addams Family brings together the strange, spooky and irresistibly entertaining household created by cartoonist Charles Addams. At the centre of the story is Wednesday Addams, who has grown up and fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a young man from a respectable, ordinary family.
Wednesday confides in her father, Gomez, and asks him to keep her romance secret from Morticia. However, keeping secrets within the Addams household is never straightforward. When the two very different families meet, an evening intended for introductions quickly descends into hilarious confusion.
The resulting story explores love, family relationships, honesty and the importance of accepting people for who they are, all wrapped in the Addams family’s distinctive gothic comedy.
Music, Mischief and Unforgettable Characters
Audiences can look forward to familiar favourites including Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Lurch and the mysterious Thing.
With music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, the musical combines theatrical spectacle with an entertaining original score. Its mix of lively musical numbers, family secrets and supernatural silliness makes it an appealing choice for musical theatre enthusiasts and anyone looking for a different kind of Sydney night out.
The returning production also celebrates the success of Teatro’s inaugural show, bringing the Addams family back to the venue where it first helped establish the theatre’s identity.
Make It a Leichhardt Theatre Getaway
Teatro is located at the Italian Forum on Norton Street in Leichhardt, Sydney’s Inner West. Visitors can turn their theatre outing into a longer evening by exploring the neighbourhood’s Italian dining scene before or after the performance.
Public transport offers a convenient way to reach the area, with Leichhardt North Light Rail Station serving the surrounding neighbourhood. Bus services also operate along Norton Street. Visitors driving should check parking availability and conditions before travelling.
The musical is scheduled to run for approximately two hours and 30 minutes, including an interval. The production contains mature themes, references to death and the afterlife, supernatural elements, loud sound effects, theatrical haze, strobe lighting and blackouts. Families should check the show's suitability before booking.
