Strong singer.

Killer voice with a soaring belt.
MAL BEINEKE
Male. Age 35 - 55, Vocal Range: C3 – A4

ENSEMBLE

A variety of ages, 14+.
The Addams ancestors from various eras serve as the chorus for the show and help bring the story to life. They will be featured both singing and dancing throughout the entire show (once summoned from the family crypt!).
Seeking actors with both vocals and dancing abilities.

The Dancestors and The Addams Choir.
Both groups will be singing and moving throughout the show, but our focus in casting the Choir will be vocals while the Dancestors will focus on dance.
