About

Based on the iconic characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, THE ADDAMS FAMILY is the smash hit musical comedy now starring film, TV and stage star Brooke Shields as Morticia and Tony Award® winner Roger Rees as Gomez. THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story. It's 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.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY has a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (librettists 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) and choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Next to Normal, Jersey Boys).

    The Addams Family was innovative and unforgettable

    by SisterSueBalooza on 1/3/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Brooke Shields and the rest of the cast rocked in The Addams Family. Every part was cast well and the acting was superb as was the writing. We couldn't imagine what the plot would be, as The Addams had been done before, but this production was fresh and new!!!

    by bellac44 on 1/3/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    This was absolutely hysterical! We went with my parents and our two teenage daughters and everyone greatly enjoyed the show! The acting was excellent, the costumes and scenery superb, and Brooke Sheilds looked beautiful. We would definitely recommend this for all ages and we hope to have a chance to see it again.

    The Addams Family was AWESOME!!

    by AmazedbyAddams on 1/3/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    This was my first Broadway play and it was the last performance of The Addams Family, but I loved the TV show as a kid so thought it would be a great first Broadway play for my son (who is 7) as well as my husband and me. It was fantastic! Brooke Shields was amazing as Morticia - singing and dancing - she looks fabulous. The entire program was entertaining and we loved the cast. My son was either laughing or shocked most of the time and really enjoyed it as much as my husband and me. Thanks so much to the entire cast for making our New Years Eve in 2011 the best we have had in years!! (Also, thanks to our Towncar driver for getting us out of New York so quickly with all the crowds after the show was over : )

    Addam's Family

    by JoeYan on 1/3/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Too bad it is being canceled. Play was very good. Wife and I are in the generation that watched it on TV. Ganmama and Fester were hilarious. Morticia/Shields was a bit of a disappointment.... no pazzazz!

    entertaining, fun

    by teenagersmother on 1/1/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    My 14-year daughter loved it. Good enough for me. Humor, nice tunes, appropriate for teenagers. Competent performances, not too deep. If you need to entertain a teenager in NYC, this show will do.

    The Addams Family - Hilarious

    by GigiHas2 on 1/1/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Even better than I expected. Took my 12 year old grandson and 10 year old granddaughter - first time theatre experience for both of them - and they loved it. Best show I've seen in years. Fun filled for the whole family.

    Script belongs in a crypt

    by radcliffeyoung on 12/30/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    How this script made it to stage is beyond me. Juvenile silliness mixed with obscenities and overt sexual references required my better senses to take over, cover my children's ears and eyes until we could make a graceful exit at intermission. Cheap thrills for those with low standards. I have heard they've made significant changes to the national tour score and script, so perhaps it will get better.
