The Addams Family

The hit musical The Addams Family arrives at Kuopion kaupunginteatteri in autumn 2026! Opening night: 5 September 2026. Welcome to the Addams family, where weirdness is admired, black is the new black, and love is heartwarmingly peculiar! When the family’s daughter, Wednesday Addams, falls in love with a perfectly ordinary young man, Lucas Beineke, the entire Addams family must face their greatest horror: “normal” life. Wednesday invites Lucas and his parents to dinner to meet her family. To stop the evening from going straight to the grave, the Addamses must do something unthinkable: try to act like a normal family. Will these two families grow close enough for a dream wedding—or will the meeting be a complete disaster? The Addams Family musical comedy shows how even the dead serious can be funny, and encourages people to boldly be themselves. The musical combines dark humour, energetic music and spectacular dance numbers in a way that will make you laugh and move you. The show is full of comic-book-like, vibrant and, above all, lovable characters. The Addams Family musical premiered on Broadway in 2010. The story is based on the Addams family characters created by Charles Addams, who first appeared in cartoons in The New Yorker in the 1930s. Since then, the family has conquered television, film and stages around the world.
