About the show
BBEXP is back in South Wales for another spine-tingling summer! Following our sensational Swansea debut, join the 200-strong BBEXP cast for year two as they bring the darkly hilarious THE ADDAMS FAMILY to the Swansea Building Society Arena.
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 secret that only her father, Gomez, knows. Everything changes on one fatal night when the Addams family hosts a dinner for Wednesday’s "normal" boyfriend and his parents.
In this deliciously macabre musical, two worlds collide, secrets are exposed, and the family is tested to its limits. To keep her eccentric family together, Morticia, Gomez, and the rest of the clan must embrace change, face the ultimate challenge, and discover what it truly means to be an Addams.

BE ‘SNAPPY’ TO SECURE YOUR SPOT!
Apply now!Beyond Broadway played a huge part in shaping me as a performer. Creating a full show in just two weeks helped me build confidence, develop new skills, and learn the professionalism needed for a career in theatre. I also made friendships that I know will last a lifetime. The experience gave me the tools and self-belief to pursue my career, and I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today without it.
