WEDNESDAY ADDAMS: Wednesday is an attractive, in-shape girl who has the same dry wit and sensibility of her mother. Finds love with a “normal” boy (Lucas) and wants to introduce his family to hers.

LURCH: A very tall male character, (may be done with height extension but actor should be at least 6ft) the Addams’ butler who knows all. He speaks in moans and groans without becoming a cartoon version of himself. His movement is always very slow. Character actor with a low bass vocals to E-flat.
