Broadway's smash hit musical comedy The Addams Family comes to spooky and spectacular life premiering on 23 March 2013 at Sydney's Capitol Theatre. Today, Producer Rodney Rigby announced the Ensemble who will make up the cast of The Addams Family.

The Addams Family features an original story. It's every parent's nightmare. Your little girl has suddenly become a young woman, and what's worse, has fallen deliriously in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Yes, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has a "normal" boyfriend, and for parents Gomez and Morticia, it's a shocking development that turns the Addams house upside down when they are forced to host a dinner for the young man and his parents. The Addams Family features a book by Jersey Boys co-writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. The production is directed in Australia by Broadway legend Jerry Zaks and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo.
