A comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, The Addams Family 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.
Concerts scheduled for the season include pop star Andy Grammer, the return of Irish sensation Celtic Woman and the husband-and-wife duo Drew & Ellie Holcomb joining together for a rare concert tour. Fans of nostalgia will be treated to several blasts from the past. The Docksiders, America’s Favorite Yacht Rock Band will perform “soft rock” songs of the 70s and 80s for an unforgettable night of fun. Cleveland-based vocalist Helen Welch celebrates the greatest female phenoms of all time with First Ladies of Song while the 90’s get the ultimate dance party experience with Fool House.
