The weird and wonderful Addams Family are coming to Chattanooga in this magnificently macabre new musical comedy. The Addams Family features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet young man from a respectable family. She 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. Tickets may be purchased at the door or online at chattanoogaonstage.com.
