The show was initially meant to open this month but will now begin on January 26 in Cardiff. It will then embark on a national tour across UK and Ireland, making stops at Dartford, Liverpool, Bradford, Northampton, Bristol, Edinburgh, Wimbledon, Glasgow, Dublin, Birmingham, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Salford, Nottingham, Hull, Milton Keynes, Bromley, Oxford and Woking, with further dates to be revealed.

While all cast members are yet to be announced, Samantha Womack and Cameron Blakely are set to reprise their roles as Morticia and Gomez addams after playing the parts in the 2017 tour.

Based on the iconic movies, The Addams family follows the story of Wednesday Addams, who has a secret that her father Gomez must keep from his wife Morticia. She fell in love with a sweet and charming boy and is hosting a dinner party for his parents at the Addams family residence.

Matthew White will direct the production with a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa.
