I thoroughly enjoyed The Addams Family - it was great fun. The singing and music was truly special especially Gomez. The costumes and set were also top notch - definitely not "touring" material.
Different, due to cast, from Broadway, but really entertaining. Theatre was perfect, staging and costumes great. Only one Nathan Lane, but this Gomez was quite a singer. Morticia put on a couple of pounds, but in the right places. I thought the supporting cast was the equal of NY.
From arrival at this beautiful venue in a mule-drawn carriage, through the standing ovation, an unforgettable experience in NOLA. Besides being very impressed with the choreography, there is something in this musical that will win over any age group - humor, romance, catchy musical score, costuming - all around winner. We want to go again and take our whole family!
We totally enjoyed Opening Night of The Adams Family at The Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts in New Orleans! The show was most enjoyable, the music fun, the actors creative in their rolls and their voices were top notch!
This show is amazing. I would highly recommend it to everyone. The plot is fluffy and doesn't make you think much, but it was highly entertaining. From someone who works in theatre I would say that the lighting was great. A lot of attention to detail. Great music. I like the changes from the Chicago Try-out and Broadway CD. The diction of the singers was impeccable. I understood every line. Sound was great. While I felt the drums could have been more present and the balance was a little off on some of the ensemble numbers, I understand that this was the first stop on the tour so they are still working out some of the kinks. However, for it being the first stop and one of the first performances for an audience, I'd say they are in a great place this early in the run. Great singers and voices. I love the use of the main drape to frame out the scenes.
I had a smile on my face from start to finish. I went with friends who had seen the Broadway version (with Brooke Shields) last week. They said that this touring production is better in every respect. By the way the sound at the Mahalia is superb!
My wife and I spent the weekend in New Orleans,went to see the Adams family.Very well done from start to finish,enjoyed every minute .The cast was Great!! the sets were very well done and for the price you couldn't beat it.I would recommend seeing it ,great show for all ages.
The show was fantastic. I brought my 8yr old granddaughter who had never seen a Broadway production and she was just amazed. We both had such a wonderful time. Bravo to the entire company.
VERY GOOD SHOW, PERFECT SET & LIGHTING, MEMORABLE. TALENT WAS VERY GOOD.
This musical was everything I could have hoped for and more! Good story line, fantastic actors, and FULL of entertainment! My boyfriend and I never stopped laughing, and he isn't even a musical kind of guy. We are both planning to see it again before it leaves New Orleans. We sat in the 3rd row balcony and had great seats!
I highly doubt the writers have ever seen the Addams Family. This was nothing like the original characters. This was a huge disappointment for any long time fan of the Addams family.
I'll admit I was concerned at first; the first 10-15 minutes were S-L-O-W. But once it picked up, it was very funny. Douglas Sills as Gomez was really good. His accent, not so much. But it was still fun. Unfortunately, I did not like the actors portraying Wednesday and Pugsley. All other actors were very good. Gomez singing to Wednesday was very touching. Loved the Ancestors. Biggest groan of the night - "Where are you going, Fester?: "To the moon, Alice! Should have seen that one coming, but didn't. It was hilarious! Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good laugh.
Saw the play on Sunday and could see it again. Our 13 year old granddaughter loved it. Some of the lines were priceless. Very cleverly written play.
This was just so much fun to experience. The plays on words were hilarious.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite musicals right now. I sat in the Balcony section which was a first and I was worried about the sound and being able to see everything. The sound was perfect (compared to Spamalot & West side Story) and I just loved the split view of the stage for each scene that was played out. Excellent cast and storyline. I would so see it again!
The cast was fantastic. The music and choreography was great. The script was humorous and heart-warming. And the seats were great too!
The Addams Family cast was an excellent display of talent. It was also a fresh storyline that old fans and new fans alike could enjoy. Fester stole the show as MC.
GREAT show. Not to be missed. Cast was exceptional.
This show was excellent. My preteen daughter requested we go. I didn't know what to expect, but we both thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed out loud the entire show. The one liners were great especially bringing in current day events. I also enjoyed how they manuevered the curtain to utilize half the stage for a performance. The singing and dancing were also fun.
Simply Great! Enjoyed it very much. However, the beginning of the second act was a little slow. But it picked up.
