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).

    Addams Family blew me away!

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

    The acting and singing were fantastic. The sets and staging were just as good. I would highly recommend this play.

    by sarnes on 12/29/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Great family show! Loved Brooke and Roger as Morticia and Gomez! The whole cast was amazing, especially Rachel Potter, what a voice! The sets and music were so fun and we really enjoyed ourselves!

    Laughed hysterically

    by Bethovan on 12/28/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    I loved this production and felt that Grandmama stole the show. She had me rolling in laughter. Gomez and Morticia (Brooke Shields) were well cast and superb. I'd recommend this show to all...and have.

    Good show & you can bring the kids too!

    by 1234too on 12/28/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    I saw Addams Family last Mon Dec 26th. It was a very enjoyable show. The staging & sets were moved around by ghosts of Addams past and it worked well. Uncle Fester, Wednesday, Lucas mother all were great entertaining characters and well acted. Alas, Brooke Shields was weak in her portrayal of Morticia. She looks good but her voice and dancing are not ready for prime time here. I didn't care much for Rees as Gomez either but he did the role well enough to tango with Brooke Shields. Seriously it is a good show - lots of laughs and the plot works well.

    was better then I expected

    by Alukats on 12/27/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    The show was a lot better than I expected. Albeit a difficult plotline to work with, the actors and their corresponding singing made the show better. I really liked some of the motifs in the play itself. A must see for families.

    Brilliant show

    by Shirleylovesronan on 12/27/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    Travelled from Newcastle in the UK for a pre Christmas break in New York. I booked this show as I thought it would be great viewing with my husband and kids and I wasn't wrong. Everyone had a brilliant time and could 've watched it again.

    Addams Family very entertaining and funny

    by Dinkydan on 12/27/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    I enjoyed the performance from start to finish. Staging was excellent.. Eerie feeling of home environment was present throughout the show with warmth added at the family gatherings. My most memorable part of the performance was when the grandmother introduced her potions to Pugsley and sang. I think the show was hilarious and turned out to be a great family event for my son and I.

    Great for all ages

    by alkeljake on 12/26/11Lunt Fontaine Theater - NYC

    This play was very funny & we all enjoyed--hubby & myself (in our, ahem, 40's ) & 15 year old son. Brooke was great as Morticia! It is a musicial, but the songs weren't too long.

    you wont be able to stop laughing!

    by wAvE2416 on 12/26/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    You will defn get many laughs out of this one. The one-liners are great, and everything that comes out of the grandma's mouth is hilarious. I recommend this if you loved the movies, or grew up with the show. It's a lot more enjoyable if you are familiar with their quirks beforehand.

    Adam's Family was eh ...

    by ImCLF on 12/26/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    I was not overly impressed with the storyline. I felt what they chose was preachy and not in line with some gory stories they could've used instead. I wasn't too fond of Brooke Shield's performance; nothing really stood out. Gomez was great! Lurch was great? I thought Wednesday had a little too much singing time in reference to the other major characters. I was disappointed that "thing" was not a greater part of the show. One appearance to open the curtains was certainly not enough. Overall, I wasn't crazy about it.

    hilariously dark humor!!

    by Missy9250 on 12/26/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    This was a great show, my mom and I went to see this for an early Christmas present. It was hilarious from the start and we enjoyed every second of it! The Lunt Fontaine theatre was decorated just like the Adams family house! The character who played Wednesday was outstanding.

    Gomez stole the show!

    by DiplomatsMom on 12/25/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    VERY ENJOYABLE AND EXTREMELY FUNNY. THE VOICES OF ALL THE CAST WERE EXCELLENT. BROOKE SHIELDS WAS PERFECT AS MORTICIA. THE STAGING WAS DONE SEAMLESSLY. GOMEZ WAS THE STANDOUT. UNCLE FESTER AND LURCH WERE PERFECT. A THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE EVENING.

    Addams family was good family entertainment

    by shark65 on 12/25/11Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New York

    The show started slow. I remember thinking.... I paid 800 for this? But it quickly got better. The audience seemed to want to be involved. Would have liked to see a bit more interacting. Also, more ties to tv show. I love thing. Only seeing him once was disappointing.
