Title: The Addams Family comes to Broadway
Post by: Jeff Wrangler on September 29, 2009, 01:14:20 pm: As always I'm a bit behind in reading my New Yorker, but over lunch today I laughed till I nearly choked on my salad over the ad in the Sept. 21 issue for the new musical based on the Addams Family. Previews begin March 4, 2010, at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, and the casting is surely inspired: Nathan Lane (presumably Gomez) and Bebe Newirth (presumably Morticia). It's difficult to image getting better than that! :laugh:

Surely this will be next spring's hot ticket!

Bebe Neuwirth is absolutely perfect for the role of Morticia.

For years I've been wanting to add the original series on DVD to my library. Time I got off my butt and did it.

When they made the first movie, I thought--and still think--that Angelica Huston was absolutely perfect for Morticia. For a stafe musical, I'm sure on one could be better than Bebe Neuwirth.
