The Addams Family (Touring)

Wonderful show and the actors really made it so! Especially loved the performance of "Wednesday" Addams, but really everyone including the ancestors/graveyard people were excellent and very memorable!! Great fun!!

The play has a very familiar story, a classic one, to the animation movie Hotel Transylvania. Good for children and adults. It portrays relationship problems related to lies and secrets and solves them through presenting the values of being truthful. Very amusing and entertaining but again it's not a completely new story so you kind of expect what's gonna happen next.

The songs are great as well as all the actors! Sara of course was my favorite who played Morticia great, and Douglas Sills was spot on as Gomez. Good story line that is suitable for all ages to enjoy. Will be sad when the cast changes

This was just so much fun to experience. The plays on words were hilarious.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite musicals right now. I sat in the Balcony section which was a first and I was worried about the sound and being able to see everything. The sound was perfect (compared to Spamalot & West side Story) and I just loved the split view of the stage for each scene that was played out. Excellent cast and storyline. I would so see it again!

The cast was fantastic. The music and choreography was great. The script was humorous and heart-warming. And the seats were great too!

The Addams Family cast was an excellent display of talent. It was also a fresh storyline that old fans and new fans alike could enjoy. Fester stole the show as MC.

GREAT show. Not to be missed. Cast was exceptional.

This show was excellent. My preteen daughter requested we go. I didn't know what to expect, but we both thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed out loud the entire show. The one liners were great especially bringing in current day events. I also enjoyed how they manuevered the curtain to utilize half the stage for a performance. The singing and dancing were also fun.

Simply Great! Enjoyed it very much. However, the beginning of the second act was a little slow. But it picked up.

It was very entertaining It was one of the better plays I have seen

Not expecting anything less from a New York based troupe, this musical is crisper than ice cold lettuce. If you're looking for spooky, ghoulish, dark, desperate entertainment, don't waste your time. What you'll experience is a warmhearted story about a not so "normal" family who, despite their quirky, headstone humor and odd characteristics, are more obsessed with life and love than with darkness and death. True to Raul Julia's interpretation of Gomez Addams and the tone and delivery of the original movies and TV show, the cast is razor sharp, the songs are fantastic, and Uncle Fester manages to get the audience to roar during his solo performance where he romances the moon. An unforgettable, 5 star performance that will warm your heart...and clean the cob webs out of your closet.

By far one of the best broadway productions i have seen so far as far as humor goes!! Everyone's performance was excellant. Beautiful voices!!

I think it was a very good rendition of the Adams family series. The set was well constructed and the scene changes went very smooth. The idea of a musical was scary, but it was well done. I wish that I had bought the soundtrack. I plan to look on line for a soundtrack.

AN EVENING OF COMEDY AND PURE ENTERTAINMENT, A CAST OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE BRINGING ALIVE A FAVORITE TV SHOW, THE STORY THEME WAS DONE WITH STYLE AND GRACE, ENJOYABLE BY ALLL AGES, HIGHLY RECOMMEND, DON'T MISS BROADWAY PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best musical I have seen so far! Wonderful singing, acting and dancing. I loved every bit of it. It was funny and just very enjoyable! I recommend everybody to see it!

The addams family was TOO funny! Brought my 2 daughters with me, ages 9& 10 and both loved it!

Fantastic. hilarious. I have told everyone I know this is a must see

Very funny and entertaining production! Loved the music, and the actors were extremely talented singers. Loved the Choreography too!!

Very funny...had a great time! I would recommend to anyone. Great family fun!

Did not know what to expect. It was amazing. Very funny. Surprising. Just a tongue in cheek delight. The lead who starred As Gomez was so good in his role with the Spanish accent as well. Lurch singing at the end was what I had predicted but not with the surprisingly operatic voice that he had.

The singing, the set, the story, the were fabulous!!!! My only issue was that some of the humor was inappropriate for my grandchild, which was the reason I went.

The Addams family was excellent. The musical was great fun, campy, hilarious. The puppetry was very well-done and added to the comedy.

Funny, delightful, great cast. Everything about this show was great. Broadway quality voices, funny songs. I needed a good laugh and this show didn't let me down. Everybody was laughing. The sets were simple but perfect and the lighting was right on the mark. The jokes were true to the Charles Addams cartoons, not the TV show or the movies. Plus, the show had a good steady pace and didn't get bogged down. I definetely reccomend this show.

WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!! And WOW!!!!!!! Neither my husband and I can stop talking about the "Addams Family." It was one of the best shoes we've seen in years! The music was perfect; the sets were GREAT; the costumes were well done, etc. As for the casting they were all as good as the original TV show. In fact, Mortia and Gomez almost made me forget John Austin and Carolyn Jones. My advice to all of New Orleans is see this show!!!!

I was not sure what to expect when I purchased my tickets for The Addams Family. I was extremely please with the performance. The had many lines that were very funny. The singing was phenomenal and overall I was very entertained throughout the entire show. The time flew by. Gomez was excellent!

We saw The Addams Family musical in New Orleans at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre. Although the acoustics could have been better, the show was delighfully fun. The entire cast was terrific. Memorable were Gomez, Wednesday and especially Uncle Fester. The staging, music and puppetry were all wonderful. Even the configuration of the curtain was done with theatrical flair. If you want a fun evening, see this show.

It's not entirely the turkey the NY Times made it out to be and it will surely play better in the provinces than it did in the Big Apple. The actor playing "Fester" easily steals the show and his "Moon" number is the highlight of Act Two [ which is much better than the first half.] There is some really funny dialogue; the music and lyrics are a very mixed bag and the show would fare better if some of the songs sung by Gomez were cut. Not being a fan of Nathan Lane, I think the actor in this part was fine, but he will be inevitably compared to Raul Julia, remembered from the two movies. Unfortunately, the part of Morticia is mis-cast,though Bebe Neuwirth hardly equalled Anjelica Huston on B'way. Sets, costumes, and lighting were first-rate and the show's opening night of national tour went well, excepting a fall [surely not intended] by Morticia, who looked properly mortified!

Had true Addams family air to the play. Very funny with unexpected lines and scenes that make you laugh out loud. Tango. Wonderfully done.

Creepy fun all around! I was really surprised by the incredible cast and fun story behind a family I grew up with from TV to the movies.

I was thrilled to see this show with this cast. Douglas Sills was fantastic, as usual. Blake Hammond as uncle Fester was a true delight. Sara Gettelfinger as Morticia was sexy and beautiful.

We enjoyed the venue and the cast was amazing! So talented and so funny. We loved it!

I used to enjoy The Addams Family as a TV series and as movies. This play had the same elements and characters but just wasn't very funny. There were a few funny parts but not enough to rate it above average.

Although the premise doesn't fit the traditional thoughts my wife and I had about the Addams family, the acting was brilliant, the songs were wonderful, and the set was just enough. I would highly recommend this production. The characters in gerneral hold true to the TV show and movies, except I didn't find Wednesday to be as dark. A clean show and a lot of fun.

Thoroughly enjoyed The Addams Family. The songs were catchy and the references back to the television show were well enjoyed by the audience. The lead male actor, playing Gomez Addams, was very good and true to the character.

Surprisingly funny and well cast with amazing actors and singers. Not a weak link in the cast and the orchestra was outstanding, although small. Great fun for entire family and our 9 year old laughed out loud several times. Don't hesitate to see it!

Addams Family was a Great show for the Whole Family. Upbeat songs, Interaction with the Audience, Excellent Costumes, Perfectly Staged. This musical was everything we hoped for in a touring Broadway show. The cast seemed enthused to be performing and made a great afternoon for my whole family

The Addams Family was disappointing. The storyline was inconsistent with the "true" tradition of Addams Family. It was difficult to remain attentive and often found myself daydreaming. During the intermission, numerous groups of people left. It was frustrating to think about the cost of the tickets in relation to the quality of the show.

I've been an Addams Family fan since I was a little kid - nearly 50 years - & bringing it to the live stage was the best thing that ever happened. The performance I saw was just FANTASTIC!!! The actors were great, the songs were fantastic & the line delivery just made it perfect!!! This is destined to become a classic.

It's a really cute show!The actress who plays Wednesday Addams has a spectacular voice and she definitely stole the show.

The Addams Family had a new twist to the old TV show. It was fun and entertaining for the young and old. It was a must see!

I enjoy going to a Broadway show a couple times a year. I've seen multiple shows in New York City, Chicago, and Indianapolis. Of course the traveling shows can be slightly less entertaining based on the talent. But this show was horrible. I always respect the actors who are trying their best, but the story, songs, sets... all bad. Just save your money and go see something else. There are a few funny lines, a few OK scenes. But mostly we were just waiting for it to be over. Very contrived story and lines. Honestly, not one memorable song.

Cute story line and good music. Very talented performers. Disappointed there wasn't better attendance as this is a good show for families.

Fun event, my kids are 11 so they did not get the sexual references. Not scary. We all loved the music. Wednesday had a great voice!

I guess I was used to the old Broadways and the Disney venues. I was very disappointed at the language and sexual content. This was not appropriate for youngsters or a "family" evening, in my opinion. Additionally, a lot of the conversation could not be made out and it was difficult to hear (which may have been good).

My wife and I have attended numerous shows at the Murat and Clowes Hall. Clowes Hall is by far our favorite location. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room to walk around people. The facility is beautiful and parking is not an issue. We had never seen The Addams Family Musical so we were very excited about going. By and large, we were very pleased. The show was great and filled with many funny parts. The acting was awesome and the music was equally well done. The girl that played Wednesday was great. Her and Uncle Fester made the show! I was surprised, however, with a few of the sexual innuendos included in the production. Although I wasn't necessarily offended, I expected it to be a very family-friendly show. Had I had small children with me, I may have viewed the show differently. The innuendos probably went over the kids heads but they were still present and could offer some interesting conversations on the ride home.

Going in to this performance I was hesitant, I didn't want the Addams Family messed up... THIS MUSICAL IS BRILLIANT! Absolutely hilarious and the cast slipped into the characters I've come to love perfectly! The musical was full of nods to the show as well as modern references (kids always staring at cell phones etc). Well worth seeing!

The Play is extremely entertaining. Wednesday and her voice steals the show. Gomez character is a little weak and voice as well. Rest of cast is very good also. You will enjoy the show...everyone in attendance did.

The show was great I would recommend to everyone. It was amazing.

It has been awhile since I have seen a performance that was this good. The acting, music, ambiance, direction, etc were all amazing. If one likes plays, then one would see this. The second part (of two) felt like it lost some steam, but it picked up and delivered a smashing finale. If I were a critic, I would try to place this on a 'Must See' list. Nuff said. SEATS (as too long for the section): Section - 2T-L , Row - D, Start Seat 111, End Seat 112 The view is of the entire stage, but I would bring a magnifier of sorts. I might need glasses, though. The price for the seats were amazing, as it was 'Family Night'. The sound was spectacular. Clowes Hall always has spectacular sound.

Very good!!! Talent level of actors was very high. I would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed the production, but the Hall was freezing cold and did not enjoy that. However, we will come again.

One of the best musicals I've seen in a while! Awesome!

Loved the songs. Loved the one liners. Would highly recommend going to see this. Unless you don't like music or comedy.

The event was great! Very very funny. Characters looked soo realistic! Set, props, special effects were insane! They even had a Gomez & Thing out in the lobby to take pictures with! Souvenirs, tshirts were very cute and affordable. The only downfall, it was veryy modernized as opposed to how The Addams Family actually is. Example, jokes about such things as ObamaCare...Wednesday getting married..WHAT?

The Addams Family was worth every penny. Cast was simply amazing and storyline was very comical. A must see!!

I enjoy musicals, and have been a bit disappointed in some of the newer ones. However I was blown away by the Addams Family show. It helps a lot to have seen the TV Series, as it makes it easier to understand some of the jokes and the sight gags. Casting was perfect. Morticia was sexy and slinky, and Lurch and Uncle Phester were hilarious. I expected Phester to actually fly in the last sequence though...maybe he does in some other venues with more access to the needed apparatus. And the low cut gown on Morticia was very sexy - it must have been held in place with a lot of two-sided tape. It looked like a 'wardrobe malfunction' waiting to happen. The language is squeaky clean, and the plot is simple but clever. This is definitely not an R-rated show - but it is a PG show - but it would be important for the younger ones to be able to understand that the macabre humor is a parody and not take it too seriously. The Peabody Theater in Daytona is great for this kind (or almost any kind) of show. It is wide and not very deep, so everyone has a clear view of the actors' faces and expressions, and that added to the enjoyment of the show. The concept of the Addams family ghosts from generations past was clever and well integrated into the story line. Dancing was cute and while not choreographed as heavily as a show like 'Chicago,' it was well done and appropriate to expressing the concept and personalities of the characters. If you had never seen the TV version, some of the sight gags (like the boy laughing while chained to the wall by his sister) may seem - well - just strange. But you could not help but laugh anyway as the characters were able to project their comic personalities at a very high level. Scenery is well done and appropriate for the motif of the show. While there are no huge special effects (like Phantom), and no animated animals (Like War Horse) there are a few mid-level theatrical effects at appropriate times. And the resolution of the various plot lines at the end made everyone in the theater laugh and smile as they left the theater. The pit orchestra was led by a director who also was playing on what appeared to be a synthesizer. An excellent fairly well-known Broadway trumpet player (Jeff Katz) and decent woodwind guy brought the music to life. I always wish for a larger pit orchestra, but no doubt economics make it impossible to tour with a large orchestra. The musicians were very high level performers though, and they were able to carry the emotion of the music to the audience. I highly recommend this show, especially if you are familiar with and enjoyed the TV version, and I recommend it only slightly less if you have not seen the TV show - I cannot imagine that anyone who likes live musical comedy (with a live pit band!) would not have an enjoyable evening with the Addams Family.

Excellent show. Funny & very enjoyable. Would recommend to everyone.

Loved the first act. Funny and great songs. Well done. The second act was slow, didn't like the songs and didn't think they were performed as well.

The Addams Family broadway musical was excellent! The singers were so talented. I would recommend the to any age group. The singers were also great performers. I would see this over and over again!

The young lady who played Wednesday had a great voice, but overall the performers were not as good as I expected. The soound system made it difficult to hear well. I was surprised that the show itself had a poor storyline and very few great pieces of music. Fester and the moon was cute. Overall this was a disappointment.

Give it two thumbs up. I wish my husband and I took all four of our children. Would definitely recommend seeing this play. I would go see it again but this time with the whole family.

The Addams Family was funny, entertaining and just a joy to watch. It was appropriate for all ages. A real treat! The singing was wonderful. Very talented bunch of actors.

My 3 children (ages 14-18) and I loved the show!!! We laughed for 2 hours and haven't stopped talking about it!!

This was a fabulous comedy! I would see it several times!!

My wife and I both thought The Addams Family (Touring) was marvelous. The acting and singing was some of the best we have seen. Thank you for coming to my area. I would go see this production again.

My husband and I had not researched the event so we did not know the jist of the story and I am happy to say we were totally entertained. We just let the story unfold as intended. Each character was unique and engaging. Of special note, Gomez and Fester were quite charasmatic. The chemistry between Gomez and Morticia was wonderful. Wednesday's voice was quite impressive. Had a great evening!!!!!

Really enjoyed the show, cast was great with a few of them just perfect fits and the others still really good. Wednesday was amazing, unbelievable voice and fit the part to perfection.

This musical had everything it had a great cast, wonderful voices, and the perfect kind of comedy everybody needs. It also was nice having an old time favorite talk about things in tjhe world today such as Charlie Sheen. Again very funny. Our family enjoyed it lots! :)

I brought my nine year old, little girl to this production. IT was her first big play or musical. She loved every second of The Addams Family. It made her make a final decision to pursue theater and drama! Thank You!

Haven't been this entertained in quite awhile. Talented cast, snappy dialogue, good story, cleverly tapping into nostalgia!

Addams Family - The Musical was a disappointment. I truly was bored from the start. The songs were bland and the scenery was drab. The concept of bringing the Addams Family to stage was a good one but the direction that the creators took was wrong. It needed more edge - a boy meets girl - parents do not approve of wedding plans - has been done and a lot better. So a different plot would have been a good start. It needed more edge and creativy to really bring alive the quirky Addams Family. I just did not get the Rogers and Hammerstein musical approach to the score and lyrics. A concept with so much promise. It could have been a lot of fun and very engaging if a different direction had been taken.

I did not know much about this show before going to it and was not expecting much. I loved it! The story was wonderful, the music was great (in fact, I just bought the soundtrack), and the actors were amazing! Wednesday, especially, really stood out. I left the theater happy and singing.

I was very impressed with the whole thing. I was amazed at how well it was presented as a musical. I liked the musical numbers and felt that the solo/duet singing was very good. I have problems when the ensemble sings and is almost overcome by the orchestra.

The Addams Family Show was AWESOME! I watched the "The Addams Family" show when I was younger and I was thrilled to see they have a touring play. I would definitely recommend ANYONE to see this show. If the show comes back into town I would definitely be seeing it again. It was simply HILARIOUS!

Excellent dancing and acting! Most of the singing was very good as well although Pugsly needed a little help as he had some intonation issues and Wednesday was pretty nasal (perhaps a character choice?). The set was gorgeous and the orchestra outstanding.

The Addams Family Musical was a delight. The show is well written and well performed. It is suitable for the entire family and has many timely jokes. It was a fun evening!

The Adam's Family was a cute musical. The actors were great singers. It was a great mix of a comedy and a musical.

Enjoyable show. Many laughable moments. Good staging, strong voices. Great curtain handling.

The staging was fantastic. The acting/singing and costumes were excellent. But unfortunately the story itself was so mundane it was beyond boring. There were whole scenes where the subject of the singing and dancing was of little importance to the non-story that it felt ridiculous. In spite of the annoyance of no story and a few very bad jokes it was still a mildly enjoyable evening only because the actors/singers made the best of a bad product. (Almost none of the crowd even got the joke about the old Jackie Gleason show the Honeymooners.)

This musical isn't one I would have normally picked; however, I was going to be in the Columbus area so thought it might be fun. It was! I laughed through the whole thing! Musical numbers were great!

Great performance - great songs - enjoyed lots!!!!

What a treat! My daughter and I had a fabulous time. The creators out did themselves. The cast were all amazing. Uncle Fester was a wondrous joy.

The Addams Family was very entertaining. The whole cast did a fantastic job.

We had a great time at the Addams Family (touring production) last week. So many unexpected and welcome surprises. They did a great job staying true to the characters we all know and love! Well done!

We have always enjoyed the Addams Family movies and TV series. The musical was equally enjoyable. It was a wonderful first exposure to a Broadway musical for my 10 and 12 year old boys. They loved the silliness and I enjoyed the professional talents of the cast. Palace Theatre staff was top notch as well.

This show was so much fun! My friends and I are going to take a little road trip to see it again when it's in Indiana in May.

It was wonderful showing my grand daughter a show from the past. She thought it was rather dark, but enjoyed it. It took me back and loved every minute of it. Thank you!!!

Very entertaining. The ensemble dances were very well choreographed. Lurch stole the show at the end! Wednesday has a bright future.

Good performance. Several funny one-liners. The actors played their parts very well.

Didn't know what to expect, but it was excellent. The back drops looked very real & costumes were great. All performers had beautiful voices. Was very impressed by this performance.

I got exactly what I expected and more. Wanted something that was true to the Addams Family I remember from the old TV show and it was all of that. The puns were funny and timely. The music was great! The only thing that would have made it better was for Wednesday to have pigtails like she did when she was young.

Well, I'm a big fan of the Addams family, so I arrived at the theater ready for something special. The Fox Theater in Riverside was very nice, excellent service, etc. However, I came away with the feeling that the Addams Family is not a good subject for a musical. The actors were well prepared, but the songs were uninspiring. The idea of Wednesday getting married and becoming nice is not in keeping with the schema of the characters. A play would be better, and I hope someone finds the wherewithal to recreate the true spirit of this iconic family.

Addams Family was very entertaining. Both my teenage daughters were laughing throughout the musical. There was a little adult humor which I hope my kids didn't pick up.

I very much enjoyed this event. The story line and message it sends is great.

Saw with miy 19 year old granddaughter and both of us thoroughly enjoyed. Cast with great and the stage settings fabulous. Would recommend to anyone. Best event I have been to in awhile.

The show was very good, and it held on to the Adams Family traditions. I had a smile on my face throughout the production.

5 STARS EXCELLANT SHOW,THE SHOW WAS A FULL HOUSE EVERYONE SEEMED TO ENJOY IT.

I highly recommend this show. I was never a huge fan of the Addams Family. I enjoyed the TV show and the movies, but I was always a Munsters guy. However this was one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever seen. Despite the end songs being a bit week, I believe they pulled off a epic musical. I have never seen the broadway version or the first tour. But the actors, signers, and dancers of this second touring group were second to none. The blend of comedy, dialogue, music was really spot on. I cannot stress this enough, if you can see this show.

Amazing casting! Jesse Sharp is the Star of the Show!
