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).

    A Fantastic Evening

    by Anonymous on 8/20/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    I didn't know how they were going to pull it. But wow was I floored, it was funny and the staging was excellent, with no hesitation I would go again.

    Such Fun!

    by BwayDiva1118 on 8/20/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    This was my second time. What a fun show! Nathan Lane was out but his understudy was fantastic. I would definately recomend catching him if possible. Krysta Rodriguez (Wednesday) and Wesley Taylor (Lucas Beineke) Are just amazing. Someone needs to build a show around the two of them, they have such great chemistry.

    The Addams Family

    by SparksTheRescue on 8/20/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Thought the show was great. Was disappointed that Nathan Lane was not in the show we saw. There were slow parts in the second half that did not seem to make the show flow.

    Addams down at least one star

    by Pointpergame on 8/19/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    2nd show in a row where the headliner --- one of the two, anyway---was absent. As a naive out of towner I expect the celebrity I fork over $200 to see to show up. Nathan lane would have possibly raised this show to a touch above mediocre. But not this night. For me the quality of the songs wasn't good enough. The singers were adequate with Uncle Fester stealing the part of the show not already stolen away by Nathan Lane. There were a couple surprises, but just enough to help is all feel that we weren't cheated.

    very enjoyable

    by ddms on 8/19/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Definitely worth bringing kids of all ages to. Bebe Neuwirth was fantastic. Nathan Lane didn't appear last minute which was a huge disappointment but stand in did a great job too. Very funny and entertaining for all ages.

    nathan lane was missed

    by mind on 8/19/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Finally got my son to agree to a broadway play-he loves Nathan Lane! Went to the theatre knowing that Nathan Lane was on vac the following week and much to our surprise, he was not at the performance we attended! Will never get the son to go again!

    Great Plan Even Without Nathan Lane

    by Eileen1234 on 8/19/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    I thought the play was excellent although Nathan Lane was not playing the leading role when I went. That was a disappointment, hence the 4 stars, but Grandma and Lurch were awesome.

    The Addams Family minus Nathan Lane

    by Princesike on 8/19/10Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    My husband doesn't ask for much but when he wanted to see The Addams Family with Nathan Lane...I broke our fixed income budget and bought tickets for $252.00, bus tickets to New York. My husband has a bad back and endured the long ride to see Nathan Lane. I can't even describe the disappointment and high blood pressure he experienced when Nathan Lane had a stand-in. We watched a show with forced enthusiasm for the other actors but were truly upset. There should be a way for Ticketmaster to inform their users when a main actor is not acting that day. Ticketmaster did send a nice reminder by email for the show a few days earlier which was greatly appreciated. It will be a long time before we use Ticketmaster again...My husband was so upset and so was I. We don't get to do many big events like this on fixed incomes so long trips and expensive shows will now be a no-show. I guess we'll just do local. Thanks anyway.
