The Addams Family features an original story, and it'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 weren't upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her fathers 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.
The SpongeBob Musical

Grease - School Edition
Book, Music and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs Book, Music and Lyrics by Warren Casey
Full Length Musical, Drama, Comedy, 1950s
CAST: 9M, 8F
Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950's in this rollicking musical.
You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown
Based on the Comic Strip "Peanuts" by Charles M. Schulz. Book, Music and Lyrics by Clark Gesner.
Full Length Musical, Comedy, Contemporary
CAST: 4M, 2F
YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN is the ideal first show for those who would like to do a musical. The cast is small and the routines are simple. There are many short scenes in this staging of a day in the life of Charlie Brown. Fun, laughter and sincerity build the mood.
Musical numbers include My Blanket and Me, The Kite, The Baseball Game, Little Known Facts, Suppertime and Happiness. Join the Peanuts gang in this fast paced, lighthearted musical, guaranteed to please audiences of all ages!
Disenchanted! (High School Edition)
Book, Music & Lyrics by Dennis T. Giacino
Full Length Musical, Backing Tracks, Comedy, Contemporary
CAST: 10F
Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs 'em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the hilarious hit musical that's anything but Grimm. The original storybook heroines are none-too-happy with the way they've been portrayed in today's pop culture so they've tossed their tiaras and have come to life to set the record straight. Forget the princesses you think you know -- these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth.
The following are our most sought after musicals for schools this year.
