Upstagers present 'The Addams Family - A Musical Comedy'

We are very excited that our Summer 2026 Spectacular will be The Addams Family which will be performed at Ilkley's King's Hall from 8th to 11th July 2026!
About the show

Step into the delightfully dark world of The Addams Family, a wickedly funny musical comedy that celebrates love, family, and everything gloriously unusual. Based on the iconic characters created by Charles Addams, this hit stage musical blends spooky charm with heartfelt humour, brought to life through a vibrant score and laugh-out-loud storytelling. It’s creepy, it’s kooky, and it’s packed with songs that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.

Meet the Addams — a close-knit clan who revel in the macabre and wouldn’t be seen dead behaving normally. When Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, falls in love with a perfectly “normal” young man from a very ordinary family, chaos ensues. As the two families come together for a fateful dinner, secrets are revealed, relationships are tested, and the Addams’ unique view of love and life is put under the spotlight. With its blend of big musical numbers, sharp wit, and surprising warmth, The Addams Family is a fun-filled, spooky spectacular for the whole family — proving that being different is something to celebrate.
