The Ancestors (Ensemble): Ghosts from various eras who bring the Addams' history to life.

The Ancestors: A flexible ensemble (all vocal ranges) representing past generations summoned from "the other side" to celebrate, acting as a ghostly chorus that drives the plot, offers advice, and interacts with the main characters. They are diverse, macabre, and distinct figures, including archetypes like the Soldier, Nurse, and Caveman. A strong corp of ancestors is essential to the success of the production.
