Windermere School finished 2015 with three nights of ghoulish fun as it staged the hit musical comedy ‘The Addams Family’.
Based on Charles Addams’ comic strip and the cult classic 1960’s TV show, the production depicts the goings on in this bizarrely macabre family. When Wednesday, the daughter of Gomez and Morticia, falls in love with a normal boy, the clean-cut Lucas, the spooky clan struggle to come to terms with her choice of beau.
The production was packed full of unexpected delights, surprises, fun, laughter and great songs from the minute the lights went down and didn’t end until the curtains finally closed. The audiences were treated to some outstanding performances from a very talented cast.
Says Janet McCallum, Musical Director and Head of Music at Windermere School; “The Addams Family was recommended to us by one of our music teachers who told us it would suit our students as it was very upbeat and great fun. The cast absolutely loved the show from beginning to end. The rehearsals were full of laughter and on the night the performances were superb!”
Ian Lavender, Headmaster at Windermere School, adds: “This has been an astonishingly good production. Many parents have said to me that this was the best school production they have ever seen. The main characters were brilliant and I would like to congratulate everyone involved.”
