A macabre marvel — crazy, kooky, and compelling. The macabre jokes keep one simultaneously shocked and entertained.

The Stanford Daily

About the Production

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. Everything is about to change for the whole Addams Family. The Stanford Daily called it "a macabre marvel" and "crazy, kooky, and compelling." The review praised the production as "deeply cheesy, over-the-top" and noted that it was "at its best when it fully commits to that energy." Even the pre-show cellphone reminder was performed in full character with prop comedy—described as "extraordinarily extra."
