Align Entertainment Inc. Presents
THE ADDAMS FAMILY - AFFORDABLE FUN FOR ALL AGES

February 6 - 21 at the Michael J. Fox Theatre
7373 Macpherson Avenue, Burnaby

THE ADDAMS FAMILY is 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! If that wasn't upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him to keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents.

Align Entertainment Inc. follows up their successful production of Shrek the Musical with The Addams Family, providing Broadway-quality entertainment at an affordable price for all ages. The show features a full orchestra, sets, costumes and stars: Brennan Cuff (White Christmas - Arts Club, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Playhouse) as Gomez; Laura Cowan Beattie (A Chorus Line) as Morticia; Matthew Fedorowicz (Legally Blonde - TUTS) as Uncle Fester; Laura Geluch as Wednesday; Ben Bilodeau as Lucas Beineke; and Avery Johnson as Pugsley in his first starring role.

Produced by Align Entertainment Inc., it's the first time a large-scale production of The Addams Family has been presented in the Greater Vancouver area. The show is directed by Chad Matchette. Brent Hughes is the Musical Director, and Melissa Assalone is the choreographer.

"It's a show that has a lot of heart and at its core is about something that most of us can relate to ... being part of a crazy family, whether it's Gomez, Morticia, or Wednesday. We may not all have an Uncle as weird and crazy as Fester but we've all probably felt at one time or another that our family is the craziest group of people ever. Welcome to our family -- I have a hunch you'll fit right in. See you at the Mansion!" -- Director Chad Matchette
