A heart-warming story about acceptance, tradition and identity, this musical comedy explores a light-hearted journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of familial bonds and cultural norms. Through the collision of the famously kooky Addams clan and the seemingly conventional Beineke families, the musical delves into questions about who we really are behind the facade of traditions and daily routines. It requires the characters to look at their true selves and discover who they are without their accepted cultural identities.

With its slightly gothic appearance and interesting history, the Homecoming Centre is the perfect venue for this stirring production.

This wonderful production illustrates how both families make sacrifices in the quest for a sense of belonging and acceptance. It’s fun, explosive and thoroughly entertaining with songs and music that will resonate with all audiences, as it brings the whole story together.
