The “Addams Family” musical opened on Broadway this week. Based on characters that launched a popular television series, THE ADDAMS FAMILY has a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (of the 2006 Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Jersey Boys), music and lyrics by Drama Desk Award winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), direction and design by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch(Shockheaded Peter, The Metropolitan Opera’s Satyagraha), choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Next to Normal, Jersey Boys) and creative consulting by Jerry Zaks.
The all star Broadway cast includes two-time Tony Award winners Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth as Gomez and Morticia and Terrence Mann.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story described by Broadway World as “every parent’s nightmare. Your little girl has suddenly become a young woman, and what’s worse, has fallen deliriously in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Yes, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has a “normal” boyfriend, and for parents Gomez and Morticia, it’s a shocking development that turns the Addams house upside down when they are forced to host a dinner for the young man and his parents.”
