Based on the iconic TV family, “The Addams Family Musical” is a dark, quirky tale of love, loyalty and laughter. It follows the life of Wednesday Addams, a young and scary girl who is anything but enthusiastic about introducing her new boyfriend to her less than conventional family. As Wednesday struggles to accept her family’s crazy antics, she learns that every family is a little spooky in their own way.
“The Addams Family Musical” is the first show to be featured in OBU Theatre’s 2017-18 season titled, “Life, Death and other Curiosities.” Future performances include “Defying Gravity,” a free structured look at the 1986 Challenger disaster, and “A Murder is Announced,” an adaptation of a story by Agatha Christie.
Box Office ticket sales begin two weeks prior to performances. Season tickets are currently available at $30 for adults and $12 for students. Visit www.okbu.edu/theatre or call (405)585-4350 for more information.
