Addams Family at GLTG
All families have their problems, but at least “The Addams Family” sings their way through theirs. They may have creepy family crypts and small hairy cousins, scary bald explosive loving uncles, parents with an unsettling amount of PDA and annoying Goth teenage daughters, but they provide an enormous amount of entertainment value.
The musical comedy involves the biggest family stress of all time little daughter Wednesday is growing up, and her parents don’t exactly approve of the love of her life. Add fantastic vocal skills, a spooky set, dancing ghostly ancestors and you have the perfect show for the Halloween time of year.
On Halloween night, get a bonus by coming back at midnight for a Halloween cabaret with Rhythm and Boo’s. Sarah Edwards-Maag, last seen on the GLTG stage in “Jekyll and Hyde,” returns with her first solo concert.
Tickets for both events are on sale now. “The Addams Family” tickets are $18 adults, $15 students and seniors, and $10 for children 12 and under. Rhythm and Boo’s is $8 general admission.
