The Addams Family is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The show is based upon The Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons, which depict a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Although numerous film and television adaptations of Addams’ cartoons exist, the musical is the first stage show based on the characters.

The wall will be on display at the RB&W District Park located at 201 East 2nd Street, Rock Falls, IL. The tribute is being organized by the Rock Falls Tourism Department.
The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall stands 6 feet tall at the center, covers almost 300 feet from end to end, and has 58,272 names inscribed on its surface.

It was made possible for the purpose of helping heal and rekindle friendships, and allow people the opportunity to honor loved ones in their hometown who otherwise may not be able to make the trip to Washington. This event is designed to honor those who served in Vietnam, including POW/MIA Veterans.
