 The weird and wonderful Addams Family, created by The New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams, comes to life in a delightfully devilish Broadway musical created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk Award-winning composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys), and Olivier Award-winning director/designers Phelim McDermott & Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter), while also featuring the lighting of Tony Award-winning designer Natasha Katz (Aida), sound design by Acme Sound Partners (In the Heights), and puppetry by acclaimed Obie Award winner Basil Twist (Arias With A Twist). After a tryout at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts-Oriental Theatre in Chicago, from November 13, 2009 through January 10, 2010, The Addams Family is scheduled for previews to begin on Broadway, March 4, 2010, and opening night on April 8, 2010, at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre at 205 West 46th Street in New York. The Addams Family has been deemed appropriate for anyone over the age of ten, so if you are a diehard fan of the television show from the 60s, someone who grew up with the motion pictures of the 90s, or have even never seen any of those, tickets for this musical are a must. Bring your family to see The Addams Family and then decide what is really normal when it comes down to family in the long run.
