Award-winning local theatre company Bath Light Operatic Group is set to return to the Theatre Royal Bath, this time to present the delightfully macabre The Addams Family - a new musical, from Tuesday 23 to Saturday 27 September. The company includes a powerhouse ensemble of more than 35 local performers, accompanied by a live orchestra. Book is written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa.
Wednesday shocks her unconventional family by falling in love with a seemingly normal young man from a ‘respectable’ family. As the two families come together for a dinner, the clash of their contrasting lifestyles leads to a series of unexpected twists. But even amidst the chaos, the Addams Family comes to discover the true meaning of love and acceptance.
