Musical

Muse Machine presents
The Addams Family
June 17-19, 2022 at the Victoria Theatre

The Addams family faces many of the same challenges faced by any other—their kids are growing up! Their beloved and macabre daughter Wednesday has fallen in love with a sweet boy from a respectable Ohio family—what could be worse? In one hilarious night, secrets are disclosed and the Addamses must face up to the one terrifying thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change. A story of love and friendship through adversity, The Addams Family is funny, poignant and altogether ooky

Introducing Dayton Live

What is Dayton Live and what does it mean to Muse Machine? The Victoria Theatre Association and Ticket Center Stage are now collectively known as Dayton Live. They present many of the events at the Schuster Center and Victoria Theatre (including the Broadway Series) and partner with other arts organizations (like Muse Machine, Human Race Theatre Company, Dayton Ballet, Dayton Opera, Dayton Philharmonic and others) to help facilitate our use of the Victoria Theatre, Schuster Center, Loft Theatre and Metropolitan Arts Center. Ticketing for all of those events now occurs through Dayton Live (formerly Ticket Center Stage) in person at the box office located in the Schuster Center lobby, via phone at 937-228-3630 or online at daytonlive.org. You’ll find their website easier to use and more informative. Dayton Live will continue to partner with Muse Machine to provide tickets to great productions which are offered to Muse student members. And the next time you purchase tickets for a Muse musical or concert, you’ll do it through Dayton Live!
