The Addams Family: A New Musical

Book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice
Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa

The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s 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– a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday 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. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Love, Liz

By Lauren Grove

Join Queen Elizabeth I and her closest friends and confidants for a fabulous night

of gossip and intrigue. Will Elizabeth's gal pals convince her that an illustrious marriage

and an heir will quell her unruly heart, or will the flutters of her feelings for her rumored

Romeo prevail? Get ready to listen to music, sneak some drinks, paint your nails, and

meet all of Elizabeth’s suitors… The good, the bad, and the handsome! Love, Liz is a

hilarious romp through history as Queen Elizabeth I of England must decide who (or if)

she will marry.
