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!
Surely this will be next spring's hot ticket!
