Musical Drama The Addams Family Pentas Di Indonesia Dengan Lesensi Resmi Theatrical Rights Worldwide

JAKARTA - The musical comedy drama The Addams Family was adapted to Indonesia by bringing an official license from the Theater Rights Worldwide. Arendi Production (Arendi) was challenged because a music player in the show had to master four instruments at once.

This was revealed by Music Director Wishnu Dewanta who is responsible for music and voice supervision, such as the placement of microphones, voice effects and orchestration teams on performances.

One thing that makes me the most nervous is that we bring out foreign licenses with special standards that we have to be able to achieve. One of them is that a music player must be able to play four instruments and it is rarely available in Indonesia," said Wishnu, quoted from ANTARA, January 20.

Wishnu explained that usually the musical drama projects he does tend to "play safe" because he makes arrangements and compositions with one musician mastering one instrument.

In order to realize the standard of the official license for the musical The Addams Family, his party then moved quickly to find senior music players who were able to play many instruments.

This time's license is indeed a special standard, which makes us nervous because it is very difficult to get the players. Even musicians at the Addie MS or Erwin Gutawa orchestra rarely play four instruments, at least only two instruments," explained Wishnu with a smile.

He further said that licenses that have special standards also affect technical matters in performances, so that Wishnu and the creative team cannot immediately make production adjustments at will.

We can't multiply production because licenses can't cut carelessly. This is a challenge in itself. The music score for this drama is more than 200 pages and I have 3 books, a lot. The songs even though they sound easy, but when you look at the parturators, how come it's difficult, huh? But so far we've been able to adapt and just adjust to the cast, "he said.

On that occasion Wishnu said that this musical comedy drama made him move to a higher level. Despite facing many complexities and challenges, Wishnu admitted that he was very amazed by the seriousness of the creative team and the players who were fully involved in the musical comedy drama The Addams Family.

When I first came to practice, I was amazed by the players. Even my eyes look a little teary because their character makes me touched. There are some songs that'melancholy' that make me excited to join this production," he said firmly.

The Addams Family is based on Charles Addams' family character in a comedy cartoon that depicts a unique family with an interest in strange things wrapped in classic comedy stories.

One of the main characters in this story is Wednesday Addams which later became a series of its own by skyrocketing the name of the acting actor from the United States, Jenna Ortega.

The musical drama performance will be held at the Taman Ismail Marzuki Great Theater on 27 - 28 January 2024 in two performance sessions, namely 13:00 - 15:00 WIB and 19:00 - 21:00 WIB.

Tickets for this musical comedy drama show can be purchased through the Tokopedia marketplace and the TixEvent page from the price range of IDR 300,000 for the Bronze category to IDR 1,500,000 for the VIP category.
