Alan Stuart takes the role of Uncle Fester, Maisie James-Owen is Pugsley, Grandmama is played by Ruth Jones and Richard Aston is Lurch. The Beineke family is completed with George Cole playing Mal and Kate Sharplin as Alice.

Theatre on the Steps Artistic Director Nikki Genner said: “This frightfully delightful show delivers all the iconic Addams Family characters everyone loves; with the theatre’s well known love of ghosts it’s the perfect show to celebrate our 60th Anniversary year.

“This musical is an all new story, based on the characters first created by cartoonist Charles Addams. It’s a perfect treat to get into the Halloween spirit. We can’t wait to share this brilliant show with audiences soon.”
