by Nancyinphoenix on 12/23/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkSit close so you can hear the funny fast lines...Gomez spits them out so fast you must pay attention. Grandma was hilarious. Lurch was better than the old TV show and boy can he sing. Funny lines referencing NYC..gotta pay attention! Very entertaining show...not award winning but for a fun relaxed evening with good clean humor...refreshing and glad we went
Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 12/23/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York The scenery was just beautiful! I wonder why photos cannot be taken...This rule should be changed. People could share photos with friends and family and it might boost sales.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Addams Family was boring
by Anonymous on 12/23/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkI found the overall performance quite boring, the storyline in particular. There was nothing of the Addams.

by FJP3 on 12/22/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkWitty, Charming and Funny!!! Brooke still looks great but Gomez, Grandma and Wednesday steal the show.

Rating: 4 out of 5by Freckles108 on 12/22/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York It was my son's 11th birthday. It was his first time seeing a Broadway show. HE LOVED IT! As for me. it wan't my first choice, but I was pleasantly surprised My favorites were Gomez, Uncle Fester and Wednesday, but really everyone was great. The show was funny and songs were good.

by 007Ct on 12/21/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkIt was a delightful to see the cast work as a family and the talent was amazing. There was not a dull moment.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Questionable casting
by Skillroy on 12/21/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkI felt the actor cast as Gomez was too old. There was no hint of marital bliss/chemistry between he and Morticia which was a huge part of the old television show. The acting was fine, the settings extraordinare, and the costumes were very authentic.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Good laughs throughout the play ?

Rating: 3 out of 5 It was ok
by DSLer on 12/21/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkIt was funny, colors were nice and didn't feel like it was over two hours which is a good thing, especially when it was a packed house. I thought the play was good but wish it would have been more dark like the original show. Wasn't crazy about the story line; Wednesday was older with short hair, was in love and getting married and the grandmother would break out into spurts of modern songs and hip hop dances. I took my 13 year old nephew and he also thought there were too many modern touches. Other than that It was entertaining. Brooke Shields did a really good job and looked just like Morticia, too bad Raul Julia couldn't play the part of Gomez, he would have been perfect for it.

by DCSTAR on 12/20/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkI sat in the front row, but any seat would have been worth the price. I laughed so hard that I missed some of the jokes that were told next. Was one of the best 2 1/2 hrs at a theater that I have been too. If I had to see any musical twice this would be it.
Rating: 4 out of 5by BUGIGI on 12/20/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York This was a great comedy! The acting was superb and the sets were outstanding. This was billed as family entertainment and it lived up to that in most respects. However, there were many sexual inuendos that were not appropriate for preteens. There was no need to add those into the script because the play was wonderful without them. We also were disturbed by people coming and going.

by ILOVENYC on 12/20/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkTook my daughter and her two children 8 and 10 and it was hilarious. They all had watched some of the old black and whites from television show and thought this was incredible. Was a tad slow after intermission and possibly could have been a little shorter with no intermission for my grandchildren but every single one of the cast members was incredibly superb in their roles!!! Felt as if they were not acting but just being the characters. Kudos to all and especially to Brooke, the actors and all the understudies who do this 8 times a week for our pleasure!! Thanks Adams Family!!
