We first discussed the new Broadway musical version of The Addams Family back in June 2007. Though the creators said that they intended to base it on the New Yorker cartoons, there are bound to be lots similarities to the classic TV show.
As expected, Nathan Lane (The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd) is playing creepy patriarch Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth (Cheers) is embodying his ever-enchanting wife, Morticia.
Rounding out the family are Kevin Chamberlain (Heroes) as Uncle Fester, Jackie Hoffman (Dilbert) as Grandma, Adam Riegler as son Puglsey, Krysta Rodriguez as daughter Wednesday, and Zachary James as Lurch, the giant butler.
The show is currently playing in Chicago for its out-of-town premiere and is expected to kick off its Broadway run on March 2nd.
What do you think? Would you be interested in seeing a musical based on the Addams Family?
