(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents the musical comedy, The Addams Family for four performances from January 24-26, 2025. 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...

And if that weren't upsetting enough, 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.

On the heels of Wednesday, the 3rd most-watched show on Netflix of all-time, Big League Productions, Inc. presents The Addams Family, a devilishly delightful musical comedy based on the creepy, kooky characters by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams.

Performances take place Friday, January 24 at 8:00pm; Saturday, January 25 at 2:00pm & 8:00pm; and Sunday, January 26 at 2:00pm. Tickets range from $40-$105 and are available for purchase online or by calling State Theatre Guest Services at 732-246-SHOW (7469). Following the show on Friday, January 24th, there is a Cast Party with food, music, and giveaways in the STNJ Studio. Tickets for the cast party are $10 tickets.

State Theatre Guest Services, located at 15 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick NJ, is open by phone and email only, Tuesday through Friday from 11:00am to 5:00pm. For in-person purchases, Guest Services is open Tuesday through Friday from 12:00pm to 4:30pm. Additional ticket and transaction fees may apply.
