THERE was plenty of creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky fun as a cast of young performers put on a sell-out show.

Youngsters from Moreton Hall school performed for more than 450 people ovr three nights with their musical take on The Addams Family.

The production, directed by head of drama Kate Howells, is based on the character Wednesday, played by Maya Falah, who at the age of 18 has fallen in love with a ‘normal’ and respectable boy from Ohio, Lucas, played by Charlotte Brown.

When both families meet relationships are tested. Strong musical performances were given by Abigail Pickersgill and Megan Keaveny in their leading roles as Morticia and Gomez.

A member of the audience, Jenny Keaveny commented, “The cast rose to the challenge of conveying the quirkiness of the Addams Family and their performances were enhanced by the excellent costumes, makeup and set design.

“Morticia and Gomez lead their macabre family, ably assisted by Lurch, through a fine script of musical comedy delivering a combination of timely one-liners and innuendoes.

“Another triumph for Mrs Howells and her team who yet again extracted the best from her cast.”

Student and chorus member, Grace Naylor, said: “It was an amazing experience and we’re so glad we took part it in.

“Next time we perform in a senior show production it will be in the new Holroyd Community Theatre and we think that The Addams Family really gave the audience an idea of how much this theatre will help us improve our shows and maybe raise the already extremely high bar.”
