Honestly the brass in this musical is so important. Especially in the opening song when you’re at Addams. When they stab on the 3 1/2 beat of the bar in the last chorus. Insane!
reminds me of my band class. we've got 4 percussionists, 3 trumpets (who all play second or third parts), a flute and an alto sax. we play all our concerts with the other (much bigger) band class so the band director has to sing so many parts in class
3:30 so one day in rehearsal our Fester busts out with “was I supposed to make this rhyme?” as the punchline, the director says keep it *and it never stops being funny*
I just keep coming back for the "just be respectable, don't make an odd remark" "keep undetectable our passion for the dark" "and then it's paradise right here in central park"
We're doing this musical and I work backstage and it's so amazing and underrated, I love this show. Unfortunately, it's gotten postponed due to COVID-19 and I hope we actually get to do the shows, our cast, crew, directors, and just this show in general deserve it, they've put so much hard work into it. Full disclosure!
Hey everyone! I didn't see all these replies until just now, lol The performance was eventually canceled about a week later. Everyone was super bummed, especially since we were just DAYS away from our first show. That was my sophomore year of high school, and thankfully, we were able to have musicals my junior and senior year (Freaky Friday and 9 to 5. 9 to 5 was AMAZING). I got to work with a lot of the same people in those following shows, and whenever we talked about the Addams Family, we always called it the greatest show that never was, lol. I would have really liked to perform it outside of rehearsals, but in a way, that makes it all the more special. Something I have in common with just a few dozen people. But maybe that's just me romanticizing things 😅 Anyway. I've said a lot more than I've needed to. But I'm glad to find some other people who like this show. It is severely underrated
This has to be one of my favorite songs!! People preforming it, don’t stress the vocals, it’s going to be easy to get together!! I’m a caveman ancestor and I found that this song ended up being hard at the beginning but easy at the end. You’ve got this!!
i play wednesday in my school production rn and lowkey i love doing the “keep undetectable our passion for the dark ………..and then it’s paradise right here in central park”
This was such a fun musical to do. I was an ancestor in this musical and our Lucas and Wednesday had the prettiest harmony together at the “and then it’s paradise right here in Central Park” this will probably be my second favorite show I’ve ever done :)
My highschool did this musical 5 years ago and on one of the nights we perfomed, the guy who played fester said "was Donald Trump right for presidency?"

Mal (Spoken): Lucas, your mother's rhyming again. I say we take a rain check and go back to the hotel. Lucas (Spoken): No!

Night!
If the Audio Engineer's goal was to have Wednesday's voice to be so shrill that it causes people agony in their ears, he succeeded. Otherwise, he needs to got back to school to learn how to adjust microphones.
My 30+ years of experience in Audio Engineering dictate that they way they EQd her microphone, is audience abuse. You can put highs in her voice without breaking the ear drums of the listener. Agree to disagree.
Tony Schmidt This is a soundboard recording from one of the national tours that was made specifically for the licensing company, so it was being mixed for FOH and not a separate mix for the recording
I love the song but absolutely hate this cast we need Carolee back what is up with Alice sounding angry all the time? Waiting is no longer a shocking song. I hate Heidi in this role seriously this is just bad and Lucas sounds so flat.

You don’t realize how important the horns are in the first 30 seconds until you do a workshop with a pit consisting of 2 pianos & a percussionist
Lianna Pfister we’ve got no horns and we’re fine.
Honestly the brass in this musical is so important. Especially in the opening song when you’re at Addams. When they stab on the 3 1/2 beat of the bar in the last chorus. Insane!
We only had a piano, a synthesizer, a bass and percussion in the production I was in
reminds me of my band class. we've got 4 percussionists, 3 trumpets (who all play second or third parts), a flute and an alto sax. we play all our concerts with the other (much bigger) band class so the band director has to sing so many parts in class
3:30 so one day in rehearsal our Fester busts out with “was I supposed to make this rhyme?” as the punchline, the director says keep it *and it never stops being funny*
I doubt our Fester would mind if you used it...I don’t think too many of our adlibs are original ideas
We used “ are we ever going to get this theatre clean”
Our production has "Was impeachment right for the Trump regime?"
I’m Fester and we’re using “Was Corona right for Italy?”
Marcus Ho my school used was Donald Trump right for the presidency
I just keep coming back for the "just be respectable, don't make an odd remark"
"keep undetectable our passion for the dark"
"and then it's paradise right here in central park"
Our Fester ended with "will prince Charles ever be queen"
Looks like he was right
@@laneplain107 HAHA OH SHIT
ours says "am I sexier than mr clean?"
@@kinginyellow9278 🤣that's brilliant!
@@kinginyellow9278 Ours is close to that but instead its mr bean
This is such a great and underrated musical.
it really is and it’s fun to be in too!
i’m doing it this yr for my school and i’m so glad i got introduced to it bc it’s so good

Did you do it?
that’s a good question
Did you end up doing it?
I’m really curious what happened with this. Our into the woods performance got postponed and then canceled
Hey everyone! I didn't see all these replies until just now, lol
The performance was eventually canceled about a week later. Everyone was super bummed, especially since we were just DAYS away from our first show.

This was such a fun musical to do. I was an ancestor in this musical and our Lucas and Wednesday had the prettiest harmony together at the “and then it’s paradise right here in Central Park” this will probably be my second favorite show I’ve ever done :)

My highschool did this musical 5 years ago and on one of the nights we perfomed, the guy who played fester said "was Donald Trump right for presidency?"
Im doing this musical, i play fester i re-wrote it to say, "Were those rich guys right for the Submarine?"
I'm fester in my local theaters version!
They're normal people
Not like you
Not like me
Please can't we be an average family!
One normal night
That's all I want
That's all I need from you
One normal house
Without a mouse
To feed a plant or two
You must admit we aren't what people call "laid back"
So can't we muse a bit and lose the basic black?
Whoa, one normal night
With normal people on their way
Just one normal night
(Spoken):
Whaddaya say?
One normal night?
To be polite
To do the least you can
Gomez (Spoken):
One normal eve?
Can you achive
A kind of common man?
You have to swear to me
Yes, promise to the core
It's almost six o'clock
They're almost at the door!
On all the Addams ancestors
Who've ever walked aright
One normal night!
Doo doo doo doo
Lucas (Spoken):
Wait! This is the place where I first saw her! Wednesday, with a crossbow. And she looked like Diana The Huntress!
Mal (Spoken):
Who?
Alice (Spoken):
He's just expressing himself, dear. 'Expressing is the poet's art. Just simply say what's in your heart.'
Mal (Spoken):
Lucas, your mother's rhyming again. I say we take a rain check and go back to the hotel.
Lucas (Spoken):
No!
One normal night
No, not one poem
Not one inspiring word
One normal scene
Complete routine
Tonight can't be absurd
Please don't embarrass me
Or be completely rude
Don't make a fuss about the house
About the food
Whoa! One normal night
I know it's big but can't you see
This one normal night is for me!
Fester (Spoken):
He seems like a nice young man!
Ancestors (Spoken):
They're not right for each other/He's from Ohio/It'll never work
Fester (Spoken):
Not right for eachother?! What do you mean, "They're not right for each other?"
Was Napoleon right for Josephine?

Were the 80's right for the drum machine
Who's to say?
Who's to say?
Was ballet right for Balanchine?
Was Polio right for the Salk vaccine?
Were you folks right for the mezzanine?
Who's to say?
One normal night is a perilous trick
Normal is hard to attain
Children are crazy and parents are quick
Passions are hard to explain
But this is their moment and this is your chance
So if you don't want to remain
Start singing of love
What?
Love
No!
Love!
Why?
Love
Ugh
Only affairs of the heart
Your turn-
Bringing themlove
Yes!
Love

Love
Right!

All I want
All I ask
You'll tend my every need
When we arrive
We'll come alive
To make this night succeed
Just be respectable
Don't make an odd remark
Mal/Alice:
Okay, okay
Keep undectable our passion for the dark
Addams Family/Ancestors:
Just as you say
Wednesday/Lucas:
And then it's paradise
Right here in Central Park
In one normal
Informal
One normals
Ding dong!
Night!
i’m doing this musical this year and i’m so hyped
I’m doing it this year
I've been cast as mal having a blast with this.
Was Donald trump right for the presidency? We actually used that one at one of our performances. 😂
We’re using, ‘were we alright in quarantine?’
We did the same thing for ours
Thank you for sharing this. We are doing this play. ..I love it!
She sounds like Queen Chrysalis fron MLP especially in Pulled
Just wanted to say thanks for putting this up it really helped me with the song so thanks again
This just brings me back. Ahh the dark memories.
im wednesday addams in our school musical and tbh this song is so hard but fun to sing
I hate that at our theatre we are doing the junior version because of all the younger ones cause I love this version
I love this song we did this and I was the grandma and it was so fun!!!!
Chills
Currently doing this musical as lucus

Not Human, Wednesday is 18, she should not sound like that in the musical. This is not the movie.
The mixing is absolutely awful in this lol, it's upsetting
This is a live performance tho?
