The Addams Family at Playhouse Square

When The Addams Family comes rolling into Playhouse Square next week, mischievous little brother Pugsley just may be the star of the show. That’s because the role belongs to West Park native Patrick Kennedy. The 12-year has been with the national tour since it launched in NOLA in September 2011 — more than 200 stagings to date! Still, Kennedy says he learns something new every time. “The Addams Family is all about love and family, and that’s what is most rewarding,” he tells Scene by email. “Everybody in the cast is so wonderful and helpful...I have learned something from each one of them.” Kennedy and the crew put it all into action at the Palace Theatre, April 10 to 22. Sixteen shows are set for Tuesdays through Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 to $87.50 by phone, online, or at the box office.
