As the Addams Family tickets everyone wants sell fast and the show opens on Broadway, we are seeing some great reviews. The Addams Family musical company couldn’t be better, and their individual gifts are greater than the sum of the parts. This makes for an awesome show full of the kind of spooky twists we have come to expect from this famous story. The Chicago tryout proved a massive success, and now the cast has been moved to Broadway it is shining bighter than ever. Broadway is set to become a commercial classic due to its huge popular appeal and a perfect Hollywood figurehead in Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth. The Addams Family in Chicago was good, but the Broadway production is much better. The production has been given a few shine ups here and there, and those in the know say that it is a great improvement.

The chief focus of the story is daughter Wednesday, who falls in love with a boy from a non-eerie family, and inevitably brings him home to meet her folks. As you can imagine, this runs like The Birdcage meets Frankenstein and big laughs are guaranteed. When Wednesday’s boyfriend’s family come to dinner at the Addams mansion calamity ensues, and a winning soundtrack brings things to life with gusto.
