Characters
Gomez Addams
Playing Age: 40-50
Caucasian male actor. A man of Spanish descent who takes great pride in his family and revels in all it means to be an Addams. He struggles with having to keep his daughters secret from his wife, whom he adores more than death. Smart, comedic actor with tenor vocals. Husband to Morticia, if indeed they are married at all... a crafty schemer, but also a jolly man in his own way... though sometimes misguided...sentimental and often puckish - optimistic, he has full enthusiasm for his dreadful plots... is sometimes seen in
a rather formal dressing gown.
Vocal Range: Tenor - B flat to G sharp
Uncle Fester (Addams)
Playing Age: 30-40
Caucasian male actor. The androgynous family member who serves as the musicals narrator. He is larger than life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. A vaudeville style comedian with tenor vocals. Uncle Fester is incorrigible and except for the good nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, would ordinarily be under lock and key... the eyes are pig-like and deeply embedded... he likes to fish, but usually employs dynamite... he keeps falcons on the roof which he uses for hunting... his one costume, summer and
winter is a black great coat with an enormous collar... he is fat with pudgy little hands and feet.
Vocal Range: Tenor - C sharp to C sharp (preferably at belt)

Caucasian male, attractive, in shape young man. Fell in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her. Experiences the youthful pain and drama of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addams family. Contemporary pop tenor vocals. Lucas is (for the most part), a fairly normal person. He writes poetry and is apparently a romantic. He also has a crazy and dark side, proven during "Crazier Than You".

getting married.
Vocal Range: Tenor - C sharp to C sharp

The real head of the family... low-voiced, incisive and subtle, smiles are rare... ruined beauty... contemptuous and original and with fierce family loyalty... even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly... given to low-keyed rhapsodies about her garden of deadly nightshade, henbane and dwarf's hair...

Vocal Range: Belt - G sharp to F sharp
The Addams Ancestors
All chorus members will be assigned an Addams Family Ancestor "character" and therefore have their own cameo character to play. Examples of the Ancestor characters are: Indian, Bride, Groom, Stewardess, Saloon Girl, Flapper, Pilgrim, Conquistador, Caveman, Cavewoman, Soldier, Sailor, etc. So there is definitely something in this show for everyone.
From the ensemble approximately 6 female and 4 male dancers will be picked out to be "featured dancers" and will be used more principally during at least 5 production numbers. Dancers who sing and have a fun, quirky sensibility. Knowledge of tango and flamenco dancing will be a plus.
