Synopsis
Okay, don't fib, we know you know the words, or at least how to hum
along:
They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family
And they're baaaaack. The wonderfully wacky members of the Addams
clan finally make it to the Great White Way. Still as odd and
idiocentric as ever, there have been some changes in their lives;
the kids are growing up and the adults are starting to see the world
in slightly different ways (as if they didn't always)
The Road to Broadway
Not a very long one. After usual readings and workshops, just a
pre-Broadway run at
Chicago's Ford Center from November 13, 2009 thru January 10,
2010
It turns out to be a bit of a bumpy road over Christmas 2009. There
were rumors of problems with the show coming out of Chicago
immediately after the opening at the Ford Center. Then, just prior
to the holiday the New York Post's Michael Riedel
reported that the "leading lady is deeply unhappy" and that the
leading man had been heard to say that "nobody knows what they're
doing." Together with the creatives going off to warmer climes for
vacations and at least three outside directors called in to give
notes, well, it just sounded like trouble. The producers apparently
agreed because just five days later,
December 28th, they announced that Jerry Zaks, due to helm the Dame Edna-Michael
Feinstein revue All About Me,
was called in as a show doctor
Notes
It might not surprise too many people that one of Charles Addams's
early jobs was to retouch photos of corpses for True Detective
magazine. We guess this is as good a base as any for the mordantly
humorous Addams Family one-panel cartoons published in New Yorker
magazine beginning in 1938. What is a bit surprising, is that, given
its place in our sitcom consciousness, the original Addams Family
television series only aired for two seasons, 1964-65 and 1965-66,
albeit for a total of 64 episodes. The show did spawn many other
works, notably 1991's Addams Family and Addams Family
Values in 1993, both feature films starring Raul Julia and
Angelica Houston as Gomez and Morticia. Most recently, The New
Addams Family aired on the Fox Family Channel during the 1998-99
television season. Again a bit surprising, 65 episodes of the new
show aired, 1 more than the original series
