The Addams Family musical tickets went on sale for the Broadway production in December, 2009. The countdown to New York visiting the outrageously macabre madhouse has begun ahead of the opening in April, 2010. The first Gotham preview is slated for March 8 while April 8 will be the date of the opening.
Who’d a thunk a bunch of darkly humorous cartoons by Charles Addams, known as “the van Gogh of the ghouls”, could have sparked decades of hilarity and scary twists? The Addams Family musical has a glamor all its own with the inclusion of Hollywood celebs Nathan Lane, Bebe Neuwirth and Jan Maxwell. The cast is now enjoying their successful Addams Family Chicago run – a splendid preparation for the day they finally haunt the Big Apple.
The Addams Family musical tickets are expected to really move for the New York leg of the journey, so be sure to secure them as soon as possible. Most shows will be sold out and the musical is being described as one of the biggest comedies to hit the stage in quite a while. The eight-week tryout at Chicago’s Oriental Theater has been a blast, so be warned – this one is very popular!
The Addams family has been a musical waiting for realization on the stage for decades. How it hasn’t happened before now is a mystery. The TV series is still popular, and will surely make a comeback once word of this mad musical makes the rounds. WHen cartoons come to life it is always interesting, and The Addams Family Musical is one of the better ideas in that department. The characters are distinct, from serpentine Morticia in her black dresses, to adorable Gomez with his golf pants and Cuban cigars, to the Frankenstein-like Lurch, all guarantee a belly laugh or three and all are internationally recognized brands in their own right. Bebe Neuwirth is always going to impress as dark lady Morticia, and Nathan Lane, well, could they have honestly picked a better actor for this role? The whole thing is altogether spooky – or “ooky”, if you prefer – and it is onsale right now. Buy your Addams Family tickets and head to Broadway for the batty cackles and naughty giggles!
