German adaptation: Anja Hauptmann
Based on characters created by Charles Addams

Tonight, the Addams family is hosting their grand family dinner, but something is amiss with their daughter. The usually dark and gloomy Wednesday Addams is suddenly smiling! A horrifying sight - mother Morticia is convinced she is ill. But her husband Gomez insists the dinner go ahead and is behaving strangely himself. What Morticia doesn't know is that Wednesday is in love and wants to get engaged. To a handsome, intelligent young man from a respectable family, no less. Dreadfully unmorbid. And it gets worse. At the family dinner, both families are finally to meet. While the Addamses revel in torture instruments, the Beineckes are rather stiff. When Pugsley, Wednesday's younger brother with a taste for explosive pranks, gets involved, the young couple's happiness faces a serious test. This internationally successful Broadway musical is now playing in Coburg too. Prepare yourself for an eccentric, chaotic evening celebrating the unconventional!
