The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory is bringing something creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky to the stage the weekends of October 25-27 and November 1-2. “The Addams Family,” both wickedly funny and mesmerizingly macabre, features an original story and every father’s worst nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the princess of darkness, has fallen in love with someone…normal.
“This musical is funny and family friendly, and has a big cast, so there’s lots of opportunities for big dance numbers and all-around spooky fun,” said Barbara Wolf, CoSA Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory Chair. “The set, lighting and costumes are all amazing!”
Tickets for “The Addams Family” musical are on sale at this link or at www.cosasandiego.com.
Audience members are sure to relate to the story of a young love gone wrong and the quirks and kinks of family dynamics. Wolf says that the CoSA students are excited to perform the musical and enchant audiences with the chilling and silly production.
The Addams Family originally opened on Broadway in April of 2010 with a cast featuring actor Nathan Lane as Gomez. It was nominated for two Tony awards and won a Drama Desk Award and Drama League award.
