About the Show

Celebrate the wackiness in every family with our best-selling Broadway musical adapted for school-age performers!a

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 wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday 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.

Critic's Corner

""The Addams Family, headed by Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, is a glitzy-gloomy musical in which the quick and the dead are equally full of character. The whole show is a menage a trois of the ghastly, the ghostly and the side-splitting."

John Simon

Bloomberg News

"This “deliciously dark and superbly funny” musical comedy embraces the wackiness in every family. The award-winning show is based on some of the characters created by The New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams in his single-panel drawings, which depict a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre."

About the Show:

A small town gets taken over by a Hollywood film crew, and the local population is enthusiastic about being part of a huge movie. But the glamour fades as the reality of being “extras” sets in, and a local teenager takes his life by drowning with stones in his pockets after being humiliated by the movie’s star. Two of those extras, Charlie and Jake, play thirteen other eccentric and eclectic characters between them, portraying both the comedic and tragic effects of the Hollywood dream in a small Irish town. Rated PG-13

Critic's Corner

'It is clearly magical, this comedy by Belfast writer Marie Jones, dealing as it does with myths, memories, class and sex, with two actors who create a whole world on stage. The play itself not only sends up the delirious fantasy of film, it becomes a moving and heartfelt tribute to the imaginative power of live performance'

Guardian

'An unalloyed source of joy, laughter, tears and delight... Marie Jones's script digs deep and dark while giving us two hours of serious pleasure'

Daily Mail

'Jones builds an astonishingly complete, acute, funny and humane picture - a complete theatrical tour de force - hilarious, loveable and at times even breathtaking'

About the Show:

A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables (based on The Gospel according to St. Matthew) by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life. A masterful retelling of the original sensation injected with contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements! Rated PG.

Critic's Corner

"Godspell is one of the most ubiquitous properties in theater history,"

Theatremania.com

"Lacking cynicism, it reflects a time when idealistic young people could romp around a stage singing about love and peace…and win converts. Now in its first Broadway revival, “Godspell” turns out to be a 40-year-old show that’s irresistible."

NY1

"That’s where the revival of Godspell has just opened, unleashing with its reappearance a tidal wave of good feelings that just might engulf the Financial District ... letting it sweep you away is one of the strongest feel-good experiences you’re likely to have in the New York theatre this fall."
