THE ADDAMS FAMILY—a delightfully dark, hilariously twisted celebration of family eccentricity—returns to Palo Alto Players! In this original tale, every father’s nightmare comes to life: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen head over heels for a charming, intelligent young man from a “normal” family, one her parents have never met. Full of macabre charm, quirky antics, and heartwarming family love, THE ADDAMS FAMILY proves that the strangest of families are sometimes the most lovable—and their adventures are a feast for anyone who enjoys laughter with a touch of the delightfully bizarre.
Wildly funny, THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a crowd-pleaser — Regarding Arts (about Palo Alto Players’ 2015 production)
