The Addams Family

Date: Thursday, Sep 21 2017 - Saturday, Sep 23 2017
Venue: Hippodrome
Artists
Les Dennis, Samantha Womack, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Charles Addams

Samantha Womack, Les Dennis and Carrie Hope Fletcher star as Morticia, Fester and Wednesday Addams in the UK & Irish premiere of this musical comedy based on the characters created by Charles Addams.

Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and has a shocking secret that only Gomez knows; she’s fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family! Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.  Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.  All the usual clan are present – Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley et al.

Samantha Womack will take on the role of Morticia Addams fresh from leaving BBC1’s EastEnders after nearly a decade as Ronnie Mitchell. Her stage credits include Nellie Forbush in the Lincoln Center Theater’s Tony Award-winning production of South Pacific (Barbican Theatre & UK Tour), Michael Grandage’s West End production of Guys & Dolls opposite Patrick Swayze (Piccadilly Theatre) and Peter Hall’s production of Pinter’s Betrayal (Theatre Royal Bath).
