Everyone here's actor or tech crew. You guys are amazing, but can the orchestra get some love please? I'm doing drums for this musical in not too long, don't know how I'll manage but I'll try.
our morticia was poc so we were gonna change the skin so pale line and we ended up changing it to skin so soft but before we changed it our gomez didnt know what to do and ended up being like "oh she of skin!"
I'm a girl, and I've recently been cast as Fester in my school's productions of The Addams Family - this soundtrack is so helpful to someone who can't read music! Playing a male is also a lot of fun too, might I add!
Last night during rehearsal, after our Gomez sang "you have to see the world in shades of grey", our Morticia said "50?" and everyone, including me, laughed so hard! (I'm playing the flapper ancestor btw)
No wonder this show is filled with comments about auditions, it's absolutely perfect for High Schools. Pugsley can be played by a 9th grader(for the younger look), Wednesday can be played by a 9th grader or 10th grader, Morticia, and Gomez can be played by 11th or 12th graders, and Grandma and Fester can be played by 12th graders. It's great for showing age differences and it has a range of ages for everyone to play.
Most of the main cast are juniors and seniors There's a couple sophomores, but they're under studies And there's a freshman playing Fester and one playing Pugsley, and the one playing Pugsley is a girl
In our show we do have pugsley played by a 9th grader, but a 9th grade girl, because we didn't have enough males to audition, and lurch is being played by an 8th grader.
Just learned a part of the choreo for this piece today! We have some fast and difficult moves, so having this on RU-vid is really a life saver. Thanks!
This is what we did my Freshman year last year for the Spring Musical. It was the best musical that I've ever done even though that was the first musical I've been in. I was an Indian Ancestor and I was a Pugsley Understudy. That production was LIT!!!🔥🔥🔥
I’m the light board operator and can’t wait to put on the show in March. Heard them rehearsing the music when building the graveyard crypt and hearing them to the ending put chills down my spine
I’m doing flute and the cast keeps bad mouthing us, and I’m just like, “WELL YOU HAVE MONITORS FOR RELEASES AND TEMPO AND YET YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT, SO DONT YELL AT US!”
Using this to practice my orchestra part. The only recording I could find of this number that had the entirety of both the lyrics/dialogue and the instrumentals.
I was the ASM for our production and this was our sound track and let me tell y'all it was the best! We had an absolute blast and i still have all the songs memorized
I'm in a semi professional production of the Addams family because I'm a pretty strong soprano and the director needed all the sopranos he could get. Unfortunately I'm also dyspraxic so learning the dance has been a literal nightmare 😭
This Gomez is played by Jesse Sharp, and Morticia is played by Keleen Snowgren. Wikipedia doesn't say who are the actors in these recordings and I haven't found any comment saying it either. But I managed to find a link with that very info.
My production company are holding auditions on November 3rd and I'm auditioning for Wednesday Addams. Hopefully I get the part!!! There doing the school edition one though...

I’m going into high school and this is going to be the play and I really want to try out every year that I want tryout for the play was chickened out like the day of the tryouts so hopefully I don’t do that this time so I’m listening to the soundtrack before school starts
we were doing this show at our school, opened two nights ago and closed last night. we were supposed to have seven performances but only got to have two, as it was canceled because of COVID-19. still sad that it closed, came here to mourn it :((
I got fester in my production. The show is on Apr. 15-19 and I’m kinda nervous, because I’m a FRESHMAN and there is only ONE other freshman who got a role that wasn’t an ancestor. And He’s Lucas. So I don’t even share many scenes with him. Fun.
im on stage crew for our schools musical, its my first production and my first big activity for sophmore year, the stage crew has to dressed as ancestors for more seamless scene changes and we chose a boy band theme cause we need to have white beanies to cover our dyed hair and im one of two crew that has to be out on stage for when the rest of the ancestors come through the crypt to keep it from moving and i get to completley improv what im doing during the dance so im super excited for it
My school did this the first year I was in pit orchestra. We’re not supposed to look on stage, but it was impossible not to. The musical is just the best.
My theatre is doing this show. I’m an ancestor bc according the dance director who’s also my mom I’m a really strong dancer and they wanted all the dancers they could get for the the ensemble. We have both middle schoolers and high schoolers playing leads bc the kids in my theatre company are so talented
i’m the flight attendant ancestor (our director said we don’t have to dress as the ancestors name, so i’m dressed as a princess bc that’s cool) and i get to walk through the audience and scare and talk to them while fester dances :)
My friend was Pugsley in a production and some other friends and I went to see it, and I loved it so much I begged my mom to let me go back and she let go with the mom of my friend lol
