ABOUT THE SHOW:

The Addams Family is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, it features an original story of every father’s nightmare: a daughter in love. Wednesday, the ultimate princess of darkness, has not only grown up, but confides in her father that she has fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family– a man her parents have never met and begs him not to tell her mother. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, 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 seemingly normal parents.
