New Trier presents ‘The<br />
Addams Family,’ new musical<br />
Submitted by New Trier<br />
The New Trier Performing<br />
Arts Division presented<br />
a new musical, “The<br />
Addams Family,” from<br />
March 7-10 in the Winnetka<br />
Campus Gaffney<br />
Auditorium.<br />
The original story of a<br />
father’s worst nightmare<br />
is based on the book by<br />
Marshall Brickman and<br />
Rick Elice, and characters<br />
created by Charles<br />
Addams. “The Addams<br />
Family” is presented by<br />
special arrangement with<br />
Elephant Eye Theatrical,<br />
and music and lyrics are<br />
by Andrew Lippa.<br />
Wednesday Addams,<br />
the ultimate princess of<br />
darkness, has grown up<br />
and fallen in love with a<br />
sweet, smart young man<br />
from a respectable family<br />
whom her parents<br />
have never met. If that<br />
weren’t upsetting enough,<br />
Wednesday confides in<br />
her father and begs him<br />
not to tell her mother.<br />
Now, Gomez Addams<br />
must do something he’s<br />
never done before; Keep<br />
a secret from his beloved<br />
wife, Morticia. Everything<br />
will change for the<br />
whole family on the fateful<br />
night they host a dinner<br />
for Wednesday’s ‘normal’<br />
boyfriend and his<br />
parents.<br />
“I’m excited to work<br />
with our students to bring<br />
these iconic characters<br />
to life,” Director<br />
and Performing Arts<br />
Coordinator Anne James-<br />
Noonan said before the<br />
show. “We’ve especially<br />
enjoyed working on this<br />
contemporary music;<br />
Andrew Lippa’s music is<br />
infectious, fun and leaves<br />
you humming.”<br />
