Review - A New Gig For Cubby Bernstein?

By:

Michael Reidel reports today that Bebe Neuwirth has been signed to play Morticia in Andrew Lippa, Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman's new Addams Family musical and that Nathan Lane is being sought to play hubby Gomez. That's all very well and good but the casting coup I'd like to see is Adam "Cubby Bernstein" Riegler for the role of Pugsley. I first caught Adam at the York Theatre's Mufti production of I And Albert where he absolutely slew the audience as a cockney juvenile delinquent, getting a roar of laughter and a big round of applause for saying one line. (It wasn't even a funny one.) I hear Adam has been nabbed for Shrek: The Musical, but maybe his agent can dig up some kind of loophole. As Lucy Van Pelt says, "This kind of thing always has a loophole."
