Why see The Addams Family?
When You're An Addams...
The Addams Family are back, taking their mysterious and spooky lives on tour across the United States to share their story with the nation. After the Tony-nominated musical's premiere in Chicago in 2009, it moved on to Broadway and then the international stage. The Addams Family features a brand new story, with a book written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. Maybe after you'll join Morticia and Gomez in their avowed thrice weekly tangos!
What's It About?
A shock rocks the Addams family as Wednesday brings home her new boyfriend, the entirely normal Lucas, and his family to the Addams family dinner. How will the creepy and kooky clan take it as they get trapped by a mysterious storm? Truth serums, undead relatives and chaos ensue as both families struggle to come to terms with the new change in their lives, and the underlying issues that resurface.

Happy in Cincinnati!
Loved it!
I had some doubts going into the theater - I mean really, how could they adapt the weird Addams Family to a musical? But without even trying to overtly mimic the tv show, or squeeze in all of the quirky bits (no Thing? no exploding train set?!) they did an amazing job. The sets weren't that great, but it didn't matter - the show was genuinely funny, and everyone was laughing from start to finish. The actor who played Gomez was terrific, and quick to play off the audience, and Uncle Fester was a surprising highlight in an odd scene (perfect!) reminiscent of the silent film era. The standing ovation was well deserved at the end. ... Read more
