"The Addams Family": The Musical
Lane, Neuwirth to Star in Addams Family - The Musical
By Matt Brady posted: 12 May 2009 05:53 am ET Sure, sure, Spider-Man is heading to Broadway in a multi-million dollar musical that will have all the glitz and glamor that can be wrung out of the Great White Way, but comparatively quietly, another comics’ based property has been heading to Broadway as well. Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth will play Gomez and Morticia Addams in The Addams Family, a musical based on the original comic series by Charles Addams - this according to Variety. The two had been working with the production in workshops during the development of the musical. The cast also includes Jackie Hoffman ("Hairspray") as Grandmama, Kevin Chamberlin ("Seussical") as Uncle Fester, and Krysta Rodriguez ("Spring Awakening") as Wednesday, Zachary James ("South Pacific") as Lurch and Adam Riegler ("Shrek the Musical") as Pugsley Addams. The story of the musical involves Wednesday falling for a normal person, played by Wesley Taylor, and is slated to open next April on Broadway, with an out-of-town opening in Chicago's Oriental Theatre on November 13th. "The Addams Family" originally appeared in The New Yorker between 1938 and Addams' death in 1988.

Is this for real? If it is, then I am excited. Musicals and horror movies are my two favourite things. :D

Iwould love it to be great, but why did they have to saddle it with a lame Munsters plot?

I probably don't need to see it. I mean, i'm very musical as it is, and I live with the Addams Family. The best of both worlds if you ask me. :D

Admittedly though, I think musicals are something that you have to be indoctrinated in as a kid or you just can't get into them.
