TheyB次元官网网址檙e creepy, theyB次元官网网址檙e cooky, but it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter what normal is because love can conquer all.

The old adage rings true in Claremont secondaryB次元官网网址檚 staging of the Addams Family musical.

The show runs March 7 to 9 and 13 to 16 at 7 p.m. with 1 p.m. matinees on March 9 and 16.

Based on the classic television series, the Addams Family features 38 students in the cast (from Grades 9 to 12), 15 in the orchestra and 10 in the crew. ItB次元官网网址檚 a production thatB次元官网网址檚 been in rehearsals since September, said drama teacher Colin Plant.

B次元官网网址淲e chose this musical because it met the criteria we seek,B次元官网网址 Plant said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a modern musical and provides our students an opportunity to work on a new musical that was on Broadway only six years ago.B次元官网网址

ItB次元官网网址檚 a sendoff for Rachel Tarasoff and other Grade 12s whoB次元官网网址檝e spent their four years at Claremont in the musical theatre program. Tarasoff stars as Morticia Addams, the powerful matriarch with a dark and twisted, yet loving persona.

B次元官网网址淭his musical is unlike anything else weB次元官网网址檝e done, the humour can be pretty edgy and itB次元官网网址檚 sometimes hard to keep a straight face during rehearsals,B次元官网网址 said Tarasoff.

As an elementary and middle school student Tarasoff used to sit in the audience of Claremont shows, counting the years until sheB次元官网网址檇 be there on stage.

B次元官网网址淚 knew that I wanted to be a part of this program long before I came to ClaremontB次元官网网址 ItB次元官网网址檚 an amazing group of kids and I couldnB次元官网网址檛 imagine my life without them.B次元官网网址

The quirky musical has worked to transform cast mates into some pretty zany characters, said Jazmin Saunders-Scales, who plays Alice Beineke, mother of Lucas, the love interest of Wednesday Addams.

B次元官网网址淚 also really enjoy the music in The Addams Family. The music really brings the whole show together,B次元官网网址 Saunders-Scales said.
