The musical, which opened on Broadway in April 2010 and ran through December 2011, follows Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, who has grown up and has a shocking secret that only dad Gomez knows: She’s fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family.
The forthcoming concerts will also have choreography by Alistair David, production design by Diego Pitarch, musical supervision and orchestrations by Richard Beadle, lighting design by Ben Cracknell, sound design by Richard Brooker, and casting by Jane Deitch.
