BFLOC brings the West End and Broadway smash-hit musical comedy The Addams Family to Blackpool Grand Theatre from Wednesday 9 to Saturday 12 June 2027 – with a wickedly tempting ‘Wednesday’ £25 opening-night offer.
Blackpool, prepare for a family gathering you’ll be very glad you’re watching from the audience! The Addams Family is coming to Blackpool Grand Theatre from Wednesday 9 to Saturday 12 June 2027, bringing big laughs, glorious music and the kind of dinner-party disaster that makes your own family look positively well behaved.
Following their hugely successful productions of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie in 2025 and We Will Rock You in 2026, the award-winning Blackpool and Fylde Light Opera Company (BFLOC) returns with another spectacular musical treat. This time, audiences are invited into the wonderfully weird world of Morticia, Gomez, Wednesday and their unforgettable family for a show bursting with wicked wit, outrageous characters and a whole lot of heart.
A spokesperson for BFLOC said: “After the incredible response to Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and We Will Rock You, we’re thrilled to return to The Grand with a family who make a quiet night in absolutely impossible! The Addams Family has everything we love about musical theatre: brilliant characters, fabulous music, big laughs and moments that really touch your heart. We can’t wait to bring our own wonderfully weird family together and share the fun with Blackpool audiences.”
In the Addams household, misery is marvellous, normal is horrifying and Wednesday has done the unthinkable: she’s fallen in love. With someone nice.
The ultimate princess of darkness is all grown up, and her sweet, respectable boyfriend is everything her family could possibly fear. Only Gomez knows her shocking secret, leaving him caught between his daughter’s confidence and his cherished Morticia. When the two families finally meet for dinner, keeping everyone happy becomes a nightmare – even by Addams standards.
Expect secrets, surprises and gloriously disastrous dinner-table drama as Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley and Grandma join the chaos. Beneath the deliciously dark humour lies a joyful celebration of love, friendship and family, and what happens when the people we love surprise us most.
With a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, writers of the multi award-winning Jersey Boys, and music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated Andrew Lippa, The Addams Family brings Charles Addams’ much-loved characters to life in a vibrant musical comedy that revels in the joy of being unapologetically yourself.
And Wednesday has a little opening-night surprise…
To celebrate everyone’s favourite princess of darkness ‘Wednesday’, all seats on opening night, Wednesday 9 June, are just £25. Gather your wonderfully weird family and be among the first to experience the wicked laughs, glorious music and delicious mischief live on The Grand’s stage. Wednesday would hate to see you smile. At this price, we’ll take that risk.
Andrew Howard, Head of Audiences, Marketing and Sales at Blackpool Grand Theatre, said: “There’s something irresistible about the Addams family – beneath all that deliciously dark mischief, they’re dealing with the same things as the rest of us: growing up, falling in love and trying to survive a family dinner! BFLOC has given our audiences some fantastic nights at The Grand, and this promises another joyful occasion to get everyone together. With all seats just £25 for the special ‘Wednesday’ opening night, there’s a brilliant opportunity to be among the first through the doors. Gather your favourite people and give yourselves a night to look forward to.”
