Berlin, 1927: The young Harry Frommermann admired the American a cappella group The Revelers so much that he decided to form his own band. He promptly placed a newspaper ad to find fellow members. Over seventy candidates auditioned in Frommermann's apartment. There were several performances and changes in the ensemble until the most famous lineup to date, the Comedian Harmonists, was formed: Robert Biberti, Ari Leschnikoff, Roman Cycowski, Erich Collin, and Harry Frommermann, joined by Erwin Bootz on piano. With songs like " Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" (A Friend, a Good Friend) and "Wochenend' and Sonnenschein" (Weekend and Sunshine), the sextet took not only German stages by storm. But their success did not protect them from the increasingly present National Socialist regime, as three of the members were Jewish. Following harassment and rejections, they were banned from performing and ultimately the tragic breakup of the group.

Tonight, the big Addams family dinner is taking place, but something is different with her daughter. The usually so dark and grim Wednesday Addams is suddenly smiling! A frightening sight – her mother Morticia is sure she's sick. But her husband Gomez insists on the planned dinner and is also behaving strangely. What Morticia doesn't know: Wednesday is in love and wants to get engaged. To a handsome, intelligent young man from a respectable family, of all people. Terribly unmorbid. And it gets worse. At the family dinner, the two families are supposed to finally get to know each other. While the Addamses are enthusiastic about torture instruments, the Beinekes are acting a bit stiffly. When Pugsley, Wednesday's little brother with a penchant for explosives, gets involved, the young couple's happiness is put to a severe test. The internationally successful Broadway musical can now be seen here in Coburg. Look forward to a quirky, chaotic evening and celebrate the unconventional!
