'Addams Family' musical opens at Rochester Opera House tonight

ROCHESTER - The Rochester Opera House is set to present The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family.

The show 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. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents.

The show opens tonight and runs until Nov. 5.

Check the website or call (603) 335-1992 for dates and times. Tickets are available at www.rochesteroperahouse.com or at Stage Door, located at 1 Wakefield St.
