SYRACUSE – They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky – The Addams family!

And they’re coming to Syracuse March 22-24 when Wawasee High School presents “The Addams Family” as its spring musical.

All seats are reserved. Adults are $10, and students and senior citizens are $8. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at [email protected], or call the high school at 574-457-3147 to reserve tickets.

According to a news release from Wawasee, “Our WHS cast will portray the Addams Family characters that many will recognize from both the television series and the more recent movies. The Addams family members, ancestors and visitors are darkly quirky and at times side-splitting hilarious. It is a story of weird meets mundane as the eldest Addams, Wednesday, falls in love with a seemingly normal young man. The two families ultimately collide in a series of events and in the process learn a lot about themselves and the importance of family.”

It also says the cast and crew have been “feverishly” working to perfect their singing, dancing acting and theatrical set.
