The Addams Family would rather bathe in moonlight than sunlight. Teenage daughter Wednesday hunts dinner with a crossbow in her spare time and little brother Pugsley loves to play torturer. When Wednesday's boyfriend Lucas and his parents come over for dinner, she asks her family to behave normally. But how does that actually work?


When cartoonist Charles Addams faced the same question in the 1930s, he created the antithesis of the average American family. With musical humor and irony, the Broadway musical, which premiered in 2009, renegotiates questions about the illusion of normality and the everyday nature of being different.


Under the direction of Malte C. Lachmann, students from the musical studies program are now bringing the family horror comedy to the stage and, as part of a pre-show, to the foyer of the Prinzregententheater.
