Running from 10–13 February 2025, this spellbinding show was met with standing ovations and rave reviews, cementing its place as one of the school’s most ambitious and accomplished productions to date.

Two parents shared:

Wow! What a terrific production you have created with The Addams Family. I have been absolutely inspired and thrilled by the level of professionalism and talent the St Mary's girls and staff have on display in this fantastic show! Congratulations to all of you, for a stellar show and an extra especial cheer of praise for the girls. You have all been amazing!! Can’t wait for the next one!

I just had to write to say a huge thank you and congratulations to everyone involved in the show. My husband, who actively despises musicals, even enjoyed it! Honestly, it could rival some West End productions. Please can you pass on my thanks to everyone involved.

From the moment the curtains opened, the students captivated audiences with their outstanding performances, bringing the iconic Addams family to life with wit, charm, and boundless energy. The production’s seamless blend of comedy, music, and theatrical flair showcased the immense talent and dedication of the all-girls school’s performers, leaving audiences both in awe and in stitches.
