                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>THE </strong><strong>ADDAMS</strong><strong> </strong><strong>FAMILY is coming to Cedar Street Playhouse June 11 -14 &amp; June 18 &amp; 19! </strong> This show is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s 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 wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday 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.</p>

<p>From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation, <i>The Producers</i>, comes this monster new musical comedy.
