The Addams Family Character Descriptions

Gomez Addams, Tenor (Bb2 – G4), 35-55: An attractive man of Spanish descent, who adores
his wife, takes great pride in his children, and is immensely proud to be an Addams; caught
between his daughter and his wife he feels completely trapped and unable to make either happy,
which is his greatest joy; must have great comedic timing, move well, and strong vocals. Fencing
skills a plus.

Morticia Addams, Alto/Mezzo Sop. (G3 – Bb5), 35-50: Beautiful, leggy, the real head of the
family and the critical and moving force behind it; easy comedic actress with a sexy, dry wit; feels
her husband is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the secret out; a strong
dancer.

Uncle Fester, Tenor (C3 – C5), 30-50: Serves as the musical’s narrator; rotund and child-like,
hugely enthusiastic and totally incorrigible; a vaudevillian, needs strong comedy and tenor vocals.

Wednesday Addams, Strong pop voice with belt (A3 – E5), 18-25 to play 18: Gothic in a sexy
way, witty with a terrifically dry sense of humor; just wants her family to be “normal” for one
night to meet the parents of the boy she’s fallen in love with; strong pop belt vocals. Preferably
seeking actresses 5’4 & under for this role.

Pugsley Addams, Strong high vocals (unchanged voice) 11-13 to play 12: A charming, funny,
husky boy who loves being tortured by his sister; he wants to ensure he won’t lose his sister to her
new boyfriend so he takes matters into his own hands; strong, high vocals. Voice not yet changed.
5’ max height requirement.

Grandma, Strong character vocals (G4 – F5) 35+ to play a feisty 102 yr. old woman: Fun and
quirky, but don’t mess with Grandma; comedic actress with strong character vocals.

Lurch, Bass (Eb2-E4) 25-50: Seeking actors at least 6’1 - the taller the better; a man of very,
very few words, often spoken at half speed; most of what he utters is long, plaintive groans, some
tinged with irony or exasperation; must have true low bass vocals.

Mal Beinecke, bari-tenor (C3-A4) 40-55: Stuffy father of 19-year-old Lucas and exasperated
husband to his rhyming wife, Alice; thinks the Addams’ are beyond strange and does not want to
spend time having dinner with them, much less be related.

Alice Beinecke, soprano/high belt (Ab3- G#5), 40-50: Mother of 19-year-old Lucas, seeming-
ly mousy housewife who’s devoted to her family so she puts aside her own desires; while at the
Addams’ family dinner party, she drinks a potion that causes her to let her hair down and speak
her truth; very strong comedic singer/actress.

Lucas Beinecke, Pop Tenor (C3-C5), 18-25 to play 19: Attractive, in shape young man; fell in
love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her; experiences the youthful pain and drama
of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addams family.

The Ancestors, SATB, 20 and older: Strong contemporary singer/dancers who sing and have a
fun, quirky sensibility. Knowledge of tango and flamenco dancing a plus. Must be able to hold
tight harmonies and portray recognizable historical archetypes.
