I have to tell you that when they first announced that they were doing The Addams Family on Broadway I wasn't too exceed. I take that back. The television show was a favorite of mine so I knew if done right the show had the potential to be very good. My main concern was the casting of two-time Tony Award winner Nathan Lane in the role of family patriarch Gomez Addams. Yes I know he is one of Broadway's biggest stars. I just don't get the hype.
Now Bebe Neuwirth on the other hand is a different story. To me that is perfect casting. So anyway last March I went to see the show. In fact if I remember right it might have been the first preview. Now after reading the mixed reviews that it received in Chicago I wasn't sure what to expect. My hope was that what every problems they had they were able to fix by now. After all they had almost two months between engagements to do so.
Cut to two and a half hours later and I can honestly say that I loved the show. I will even go as far to say that I loved Nathan Lane. He won me over. Is the show perfect? No. Do I think that it deserved the reviews that it received from the press or the backlash that it received from the Tony committee? Definitely not. What it is is a lot of fun. Theatre is there to entertain us . That is what The Addams Family does. After all what more do you need? I say forget what the critics say.
After all Wicked didn't get very good reviews and it is the most successful shows of all time. Take that critics. Oh wait. I almost forgot. I was supposed to tell you about The Addams Family ticket offer wasn't I? Well let's get right too it. From now thru March 27 you can tickets to see this hilarious musical at prices that can't be beat. Be advised that this "Insider Deal" is not good for Saturday or Sunday performances and is subject to availability. Get your tickets to see The Addams Family on Broadway.
