The Addams Family Broadway tickets, that’s the word among theatregoers this fall in New York City. The comic family with the horror story twist will be playing on Broadway beginning next spring, 2010, and by all accounts the production will be star-studded and fabulous. Two-time Tony Award winners Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth will play Gomez and Morticia, respectively, while Zachary James will play looming butler, Lurch. The cobwebs and bats are still at large in the Addams’ haunted mansion, but attentions this time are on Wednesday, the Addams’ daughter, who is suddenly all grown up and wanting to date boys. What’s more, she wants to bring them home to meet her folks! Following its debut run on Chicago’s Broadway, the Addams Family Musical will be ready to come to New York City. The Addams Family Broadway launch is scheduled for March 4, 2010.

The Addams Family New York will be the first time Bebe Neuwirth has created an original lead role on Broadway; previously, the former Frasier actress has enjoyed successful portrayals of popular characters via revivals, such as Damn Yankees and Chicago. Neuwirth is perfect for the role of Morticia, and is a masterstroke by the production’s creators, Stuart Oken, Roy Furman and Michael Leavitt. Most notably, this latest Broadway production isn’t based on past Addams Family storylines; it features characters invented by cartoonist Charles Addams in completely new stories. Addams inspired several generations with his dark and wonderful depictions of gloomy mansions and grey corridors, and this is yet another incarnation of his peculiar mind. The Addams Family Broadway producers announced the Broadway musical’s casting on May 11, 2009. The world premiere starts in Chicago on November 12, 2009, before the production opens at one of Nederlander’s Broadway theatres, the Lunt-Fontanne, next spring. Don’t be fooled into thinking Addams Family tickets will be easy to find even this early though; a lot of people are already making plans to hit the theater and see this much-awaited musical.

Producers of the ghastly and ghoulish musical have characterized the story thus: “Storm clouds are gathering over the Addams Family manse. Daughter Wednesday, now 18, is experiencing a sensation that surprises and disgusts her — caring about another person. Young Pugsley, jealous of his sister’s attention, begs her to keep torturing him, severely, while mother Morticia, conflicted over her daughter’s lurch into womanhood, fears being upstaged and discarded…like yesterday’s road kill. All the while, father Gomez — master of the revels, mischievous and oblivious as ever — would prefer everything and everyone remain as it is. But when outsiders come to dinner, the events of one night will change forever this famously macabre family — a family so very different from your own…or maybe not.”

In his sixty-year career, Charles Addams drew well over a thousand cartoons and drawings, chiefly for The New Yorker. His characters were eventually grouped as The Addams Family, bringing him fame and acclaim. Addams’ great gift was in his ability to convey the charm and humanity lurking behind the sometimes funereal, sometimes outrageous facades of his dark menageria of oddballs. The Addams Family Broadway tickets are already causing a stir, and anyone who knows the story will be clamoring to see this amazing Broadway show.
