BWW Review: Great Performances Abound in THE ADDAMS FAMILY
by Frank Benge - Oct 25, 2018


The characters in The Addams Family were created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. The characters traditionally include Gomez and Morticia Addams, their children Wednesday and Pugsley, close family members Uncle Fester and Grandmama, their butler Lurch, the disembodied hand Thing, and Gomez's Cousin Itt. The characters are a satirical inversion of the ideal American family: odd, wealthy, macabre and unaware that other people find them, at the very least, bizarre. They originally appeared as single-panel cartoons, about half of which were originally published in The New Yorker between their debut in 1938 and Charles Addams' death in 1988. They've been adapted to multiple forms of media: television, both live action and animated, and a series of films. The most recent adaptation is the musical THE ADDAMS FAMILY with a book by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa.

Entr'Acte Theatrix Presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY
by Carol Kassie - Oct 17, 2018


Charles Addams' ghoulishly clever and devilishly satirical Addams Family cartoons first began appearing in the New Yorker magazine in 1938, and his characters captured the hearts and the humor of the American public almost immediately. A close knit, loving family, with a few odd quirks - and a definite affinity for the bizarre and macabre - the Addams Family has appeared in a number of film and television adaptations since their debut, however The Addams Family - A New Musical Comedy is based on Addams' cartoons, rather than any of the characters as they were portrayed in film or on television.
