Get ready to snap your fingers! Producers Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment and John Stalker Productions, alongside co-producers ADAMA Entertainment and Guy James, are thrilled to announce that first-look production images for the highly anticipated UK tour of THE ADDAMS FAMILY, The Musical Comedy, have just been released. While the new images promise a delightfully ghoulish glimpse into the production, they also coincide with the exciting news of the full cast joining the tour.
This macabre and hilarious musical, with a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (of Jersey Boys fame) and music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated Andrew Lippa, is based on Charles Addams’ beloved characters. The story follows Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, as she navigates the shocking secret of falling in love with a sweet young man from a respectable family. The stage is set for a fateful dinner where two vastly different families collide, promising hysterical consequences.
Joining the already announced star-studded lineup of Alexandra Burke as Morticia Addams, Lesley Joseph as Grandma, Clive Rowe as Uncle Fester, and Ricardo Afonso as Gomez Addams, are a host of talented performers. The newly announced cast members include Jak Allen-Anderson (Lurch cover), Abigail Brodie (Morticia cover), JR Ballantyne (Gomez cover), Eamonn Cox (Mal and Fester cover), Siobhan Diffin (Alice/Grandma/Swing cover), Maria Garrett (Wednesday cover), Chloe Gentles (Pugsley cover), and Sario Solomon (Lucas cover).
With its heartwarming story of love, family, and friendship – all with a deliciously dark twist – THE ADDAMS FAMILY promises to be a highlight of the 2025 theatrical calendar. Directed by Matthew White, with choreography by Alistair David and a top-tier creative team, the production kicks off its tour at the Birmingham Hippodrome from July 10-12, 2025, before haunting stages at Curve, Leicester (July 15 – August 10), Lowry, Salford (August 12-16), Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury (August 19-23), and Blackpool Opera House (August 26-30).
Fans can now get their first visual taste of the iconic family's stage presence, setting the tone for a truly kooky and unforgettable theatrical experience!
