More Information

THE ADDAMS FAMILY hits the Bulwell Academy School’s stage in February 2025.

The 11th-13th of February 2025 will see the comical feast that is The Addams Family – School Edition hit the stage of the Bulwell Academy for their second ever school musical. The show embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: 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. 

Join us  to see the fateful evening where everything will change for the whole family as they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Tickets on sale, priced at £4 per child and £6 per child, for both stage and tiered seating.

NOTICES FOR CAST MEMBERS

All notices for cast members will be placed outside the Drama Room in D Block.
