The Addams Family tour releases rehearsal photos

The Addams Family musical is preparing to head out on a short tour this coming summer, and first look photos have been revealed!

Based on the spooky characters created by Charles Addams, the musical features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (Jersey Boys), with a score by Andrew Lippa (Big Fish). The plot revolves around Wednesday Addams, who has fallen in love with a young man from a respectable family, and a fateful evening when the relatives on both sides meet for dinner.

The Addams Family has previously completed two UK and Ireland tours and was presented in concert form at The London Palladium last year.

The 2025 tour will visit five venues; Birmingham Hippodrome (10 to 12 July), Curve Leicester (15 July to 10 August), the Lowry, Salford (12 to 16 August) and Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury (19 to 23 August) and Blackpool Opera House (26 to 30 August).

Set to star are Alexandra Burke (as Morticia Addams), Lesley Joseph (as Grandma), Clive Rowe (as Uncle Fester), Ricardo Afonso (as Gomez Addams), Lauren Jones (as Wednesday Addams), Nicholas McLean (as Pugsley Addams), and Dickon Gough (as Lurch). Playing the Beineke family will be Dale Rapley (as Mal), Jacob Fowler (as Lucas) and Kara Lane (as Alice).
