Atlantis Productions is staging another smash-hit Broadway musical comedy that will certainly excite local theatergoers. “The Addams Family Musical” stars film, TV and stage personalities Eula Valdez and Arnell Ignacio in the lead roles of Morticia and Gomez Addams. Also in the cast is K-La Rivera.


Directed by Bobby Garcia, this “magnificently macabre new musical comedy” by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, will run from Nov. 15 to Dec. 1 at the Meralco Theater.


Says Bobby: “It has always been a great way for us to end the year and start off the holiday season with a family musical comedy. And this year it’s ‘The Addams Family.’ It’s wacky, zany, good fun… and it is perfect for the entire family. I am thrilled that Eula and Arnell take on the iconic roles I grew up with!”


It’s Eula’s third musical, the first being “Zsa Zsa Zaturnah,” which proved unforgettable to the actress because “naka seven runs kami!” Eula’s second musical was “Nine,” another Atlantis Productions presentation. In “The Addams Family Musical,” Eula plays the role made famous in the hit film by Angelica Huston.


On the other hand, this is Arnell’s second musical under Atlantis, the first being “The Full Monty.”


Featuring an original story, the musical calls to mind of 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 weren’t upsetting enough, she 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.
