A comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, the magnificently macabre hit musical “The Addams Family” will haunt Penn State with two performances at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, and 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 2, in Eisenhower Auditorium.

Visit “The Addams Family” online for more information, including ASL interpretation and audio description options.

Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness—played by 2022 Penn State musical theatre graduate Melody Munitz—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 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. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Munitz said that the Addams aren’t all “macabre and violent.”

“They’re just like the rest of us,” she said in a recent video call. “They’re a family who loves each other fiercely, who are unwilling to compromise their sense of self to fit into society.”

On the heels of “Wednesday,” the third most-watched show on Netflix of all time, Big League Productions, Inc., presents “The Addams Family,” a devilishly delightful musical comedy based on the creepy, kooky characters by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams.

Tickets are $81 and $66 for an adult; $64 and $49 for a person 18 and younger; and $45 and $40 for a University Park student. Purchase your tickets online for the April 1 and April 2 performances.
