WICKERMOSS: 5 REASONS TO WATCH THE ADDAMS FAMILY MUSICAL [MEDIA CALL & REVIEW]

The unconventional dysfunctional The Addams Family is back in Singapore for another run. Wednesday Addams all grown up and is in love with a "normal" boy Lucas Beineke.

A dinner was set. Addams, Beineke's . Just one normal night.

Be prepared for the chaos and weird happenings on stage, you'll not only laugh but at least ask yourself , "Wait, am I even normal?" What makes one really normal?

What makes the musical afloat is the buoyant UK cast - relatable and mixing a different kind of chemistry on stage. No spoilers on this review instead I stirred up another set of reasons on why is this a must watch musical.

1. BE TORTURED. WITH MORE FUN & PUNS.

Having watched the previous show last 2013 at the Resorts World Sentosa, they have revised a few dialogue from the script. Did I hear Donald's Trump name?! OMG, hilarious. Just make sure you're listening carefully else, the joke will be on you.

Kidding.

The cast- well, okay Uncle Fester I'm looking at you. Thy tongue got sharper indeed eh?! His humor has been sharpened twice as much, he's feisty, his words as always piercing. But deep inside he still has this soft as mallows heart. Ask the moon on how she said yes to this charming lover boy.

2. FLETCHER PLAYING WEDNESDAY ADDAMS.

If you'll see Carrie appear on stage you might wonder, "How did she even end up getting this role?"

Act to Watch Out for: PULLED

Fletcher's singing prowess gave a new identity for Wednesday Addam's character. It's not only her voice that will move the audience - her overall appearance on stage; the way her eyes tug at the audience' heartstrings. Her voice got us all shook up.

TRIVIA: CARRIE FLETCHER IS ALSO A WRITER/AUTHOR, A YOUTUBER AND AFTER FALLING IN LOVE, SHE NOW FINDS BUNNY RABBITS CUTE.

WELL, SHE USUALLY HUNTS THEM BEFORE & THE FAMILY'S DINNER IS SOLVED.

3. UNCLE FESTER NEW RENDITION OF THE MOON AND ME.

Fester's love for the moon has left the audience scratching their heads the first time. But wait til you see Act 2.

Again, no spoilers. How about taking any guesses on how the moon will make "her' appearance this time around?

4. REEL: PUGSLEY ADDAMS IS 12 YEARS OLD. REAL: PUGSLEY IS DOUBLE THAT AGE.

Witness on how a 25 year old actor portray a character half of his age. Of all the cast, Pugsley was carved to be the most hated one but turns out to be the most loved in the end.

TRIVIA : THE ACTOR PLAYING PUGSLEY DIDN'T DON A WIG THROUGHOUT THE SHOW. THAT WAS HIS REEL, I MEAN REAL HAIR.

5. WE'RE SITTING THERE. LIKE GOMEZ ADDAMS, WE'RE TRAPPED.

Watching The Addams Family you will feel as trapped as the tied-up parents (Gomez & Morticia) wondering what ifs and whatnots. One might not need be a parent to relate. The feeling of rejection and the will to be accepted at all cost is the focus of this musical. Of course, family is tops but let's not forget the complicated stuff of being in love.

How far would one go for the sake of love? Even the great ensemble of "dead people" appearing from time to time on stage were hit by the love bug! The ancestors also experienced a total makeover. Their costumes are more modernized in my opinion. They looked so "alive' on stage.

As they say, being normal is over rated. Give yourself a chance to see this musical and see where your being normal lies in between laughter, hopes and imperfections.
