Overview
THE ADDAMS FAMILY Younger@Part® is the authorized 30 minute edition of the Broadway musical for elementary schools and youth theatres (grades 2 – 5). Through a series of workshops, our Younger@Part® musicals are tailor-made for younger actors. Song keys are changed where needed, songs and scenes are edited for time and content, while keeping the spirit of the original Broadway show intact. There are great parts for girls, boys and can include any sized ensemble/chorus, who appear throughout the show.
Celebrate the wackiness in every family with our best-selling Broadway musical adapted for middle school-age performers! Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family whom her parents have never met. She 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.
Each Younger@Part® title comes complete with Performance Tracks, Guide Vocal Tracks, Director’s Guide, and 30 Student Scripts.
