Gomez has to try to hide her daughter’s relationship from his wife Morticia. Things get interesting as the boy and his parents are invited to the Addams mansion for dinner. Will Morticia find out Wednesday’s admiration towards a boy who is ‘not their kind’? Will the boy still like Wednesday after meeting her eccentric family? The musical has received numerous positive critiques with Toronto Post City praising it as “a visually satisfying, rib-tickling, lunatic musical that will entertain you to death!” The Addams Family is staged at the Festive Grand Theatre, Resorts World Sentosa from July 9 until July 28. Ticket price ranges from $55 to $175.

Coming all the way from London, the fun and lighthearted musical makes its Southeast Asia premiere here in Singapore this September at the Esplanade Theatre for a limited season. Winning ‘Best Musical’ in the 2003 Tony Awards, the musical follows the life of Tracy Turnblad, a plus-size girl from Baltimore who has a big passion in dancing, singing and performing. In effort to make her dream of dancing on ‘The Corny Collins Show’ a reality, she went to audition to dance on the show and eventually got the part! But things don’t go as smooth as she thought it would be with a new rivalry that is formed with the TV station’s daughter, Velma, who sees Tracy as a threat to her own popularity. The 1960s racial segregation issues serve as the musical’s backstory which adds an authentic flavor to the whole musical. Described as “the ultimate feel-good show” by Guardian in the UK, Hairspray is certainly not to be missed! Hairspray will be staged at the Esplanade Theatre from September 26 to October 1. Ticket price ranges from $60 to $230. Purchase your tickets to ‘Hairspray’ at SISTC here: http://bit.ly/16cGxxV
