Addams Family Auditions Graphic.png

Synopsis:

THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. 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 parents.

WHAT TO PREPARE FOR AUDITIONS

The auditions will consist of 2 parts: a vocal audition and a dance audition.

 

For the music audition:

Auditioners should prepare their preferred cut/selection in the folder below.

  • Men - Trapped, Moon and Me, One Normal Night

  • Women - Pulled, Death Is Just Around The Corner

 

Auditioners will do a vocal warm-up together then will have the opportunity to sing the cut as a group before singing solo. It is expected that you come with the audition cut learned and memorized. It is also recommended to be familiar with both cuts should the team want to hear you sing both.

 

For the dance audition: The Choreographer will teach a short piece of the choreography. Smaller groups will then perform the piece to the best of their ability. Make sure to wear comfortable closed-toed shoes you can dance in. Barefoot, sandals, crocs, etc. will not be allowed due to the safety of all auditioners.

She has a strong belt.

 

Pugsley Addams, Vocal Range: A3 – F5 - The youngest of the Addams Family, Pugsley loves to be tortured by his big sister. He is lost trying to figure out his place now that she has a new boyfriend and family dynamics are changing. Pugsley is charming and funny.
