The weirdest, whimsical, wackiest family is coming to Cape Town

Whether you love the comic books, the movies, or the TV series, Wednesday, you’re in for a theatrical treat with The Addams Family Musical. Featuring a talented cast of well-known South African actors, this spooky, wickedly-funny show is perfect for all ages. When the ‘princess of darkness’, Wednesday, falls in love with a ‘normal’ boy, Lucas, The Addams Family invites him and his parents for dinner. Mayhem, dark humour and hilarity ensue and, as Gomez says: “Living or dead, family is still family”.

So, don’t miss your chance to hang out for a couple of hours with the weirdest family in town.  The show opens on 14 Dec 2024 at the old Fugard, now called the Homecoming Centre.  Book now at Webtickets.
