“The Addams Family” will lurch into the spotlight at 7 p.m. Feb. 28, March 1, 2, and 2 p.m. March 3, auditorium, Northwestern Lehigh High School, 6493 Route 309, New Tripoli, Lynn Township.

“We are very excited to present ‘The Addams Family,’ created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons, in our newly-renovated theater. The show depicts a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre,” says the musical’s Director Bill Mutimer, who chairs the Northampton Community College Theater Department Chair and is Artistic Producing Director for Northampton Community College Summer Theatre.

Mutimer is assisted by choreographer Tina Williams and music director Madeline Prentice.

In the quirky musical involving the iconic family of eerie characters, mayhem ensues when Wednesday Addams brings her boyfriend, Lucas Beineke, and his parents to dine with her delightfully frightful family.

Music and lyrics are by Andrew Lippa and the book is by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice.

Musical numbers include “When You’re an Addams,” “Pulled,” “Just Around the Corner,” “The Moon and Me” and “Trapped.”

The musical comedy debuted on Broadway in 2010, receiving two Tony Award nominations for original score and actor.
