Why see The Addams Family?
A Morbidly Magic Tale
They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky - c'mon, you know that tune! Distilling the morbid magic of Charles Addams' beloved cartoons, adding a toe-tapping score, ghoulish song-and-dance numbers, and hilarious moments into the mix with highly entertaining results, don't miss The Addams Family musical, stepping onto stage in your city!
What is the story?
As the musical begins, storm clouds are gathering over the Addams Family home. Wednesday is falling in love, young Pugsley, jealous of his sister's attention, begs her to keep torturing him severely, while mother Morticia fears being upstaged and discarded by her daughter's lurch into womanhood... like yesterday's roadkill. But when outsiders come to dinner, the events of one night will change forever this famously macabre family - a family so very different from your own - or maybe not.

The Definition Of Entertainment
My wife and I were privileged enough to be at the Thursday March 11th performance. As a late bloomer to the theatre scene, of course one of my necessary quests is to see Nathan Lane in ANYTHING, but to have him star in the cast of my favorite boyhood TV show was overwhelming. The entire cast was brilliant, the songs ripe and humorous. And BeBe as Morticia rekindled those old feelings I once had for Carolyn Jones..she is a show stealer. I must also add that the audience was a major part of the excitement.It was the best audience I have ever been in-everyone shared it all together. The chemistry of the actors feeding off the crowd and the crowd digging the play was wonderful. There was a standing ovation for them at the end. Sure it was a compliment, but it just seemed necessary as repayment for the enjoyment they had just provided. ... Read more

So much fun
You can't pass this one up! I don't have the luxury to go to many Broadway shows but I am so glad I got to see this musical. A modern twist to a blast from the past. The characters are entertaining, engaging, and amazing in their portrayals. At numerous times throughout the performance, the audience broke into thunderous applaus. Prior to the play, I couldn't see Nathan Lane as Gomez but he was awesome. Grandmama was hysterical! Throughout the day I recalled some of her wisecracks and laughed out loud! I have to say, all the characters were talented, strong and brought their own uniqueness to the stage. The special effects and stage designs were impressive. You can easily see the stage from any of the seats in the theater. A play for everyone. Great family event, date night, girls night out, you'll have a blast. ... Read more
