(MORRISTOWN, NJ) -- A comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, the magnificently macabre hit musical The Addams Family comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) for three performances September 26-27, 2025. A comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, this is the magnificently macabre hit musical featuring everyone’s favorite creepy, kooky characters.

 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 the new season 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, September 26 at 8:00pm and Saturday, September 27 at 2:00pm & 8:00 pm. Tickets range from $79-$129 and are available for purchase online.  Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) is located at 100 South Street in Morristown, New Jersey.
