A tour production of the musical comedy The Addams Family, based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, will come to Guangzhou Opera House this August.

The Musical, which premiered on Broadway in 2010, features an original story that is every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. And if that weren't upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. On the fateful night, the family will host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents. The musical promises a bizarre and fun night for all audience attend.
