The Addams Family – As reported earlier, plans are underway to bring the creepy clan to the Broadway stage. Now, Playbill reports that Nathan Lane (The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd) and Bebe Neuwirth (Cheers) – both two two-time Tony award winners – have agreed to play the lead roles of Gomez and Morticia in an upcoming closed reading. Though the pair will likely have first option on the roles, they haven’t committed to play the gruesome twosome when the show hits Broadway for the 2009-2010 season. The Addams music is being authored by Andrew Lippa, and Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice are writing the book.
