"When you're an Addams, you need to have a little moonlight. You need to feel a little chill" A huge congratulations to all of the incredible cast (both of them!) and crew who brought The Addams Family Musical to life for four sell-out nights last week. The standard was incredible, the confidence spell bounding and the quality second to none. We are truly blessed to have such talented young people guided by such passionate staff. #TheHHEx # EsseQuamVideri
