The Addams Family Musical: Young@Part®
Collaborative Youth Musical: Variety STL & COCA
Get ready for a delightfully spooky and hilarious musical that brings everyone’s favorite eccentric family to life like never before! Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Everything changes for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. The Addams Family Young@Part is a ghoulishly good time full of music, mischief, and mayhem!
Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis and COCA are teaming up for a fully inclusive Performing Arts program! This initiative unites kids and teens with and without disabilities, giving every child the chance to shine on stage. Participants develop new skills such as singing, acting, and dancing while building friendships and boosting their confidence. The production will feature both COCA Kids and Variety Kids, coming together to bring this story to life!
