Liverpool Empire date for Addams Family UK tour

The Addams Family are on their way to the Liverpool Empire this summer as part of a new national tour for the musical comedy.

The hit stage show, written by Oscar-winning Marshall Brickman and Tony Award-winner Rick Elice and directed by Matthew White, comes to Lime Street for a week in August.

And casting has just been announced, with Samantha Womack playing Morticia Addams and Cameron Blakely as Gomez.

Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and has a shocking secret that only Gomez knows; she’s fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family.

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.

All the usual clan are present - Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley et al.

The tour is presented by Katy Lipson and Aria Entertainment, along with Music and Lyrics Ltd.

The Addams Family is at the Liverpool Empire from August 10-15. Tickets HERE
