I'm sure he'll be great, but that is some weird casting.

Jen Cody will probably be hilarious as Grandma but she is a little young.

Steve Rosen as Uncle Fester makes me want to fly out there to see the show!

Jen Cody isn't a little young for anything...

She just little.

Draw a little moustache on Rob and he looks like Gomez.

What a waste of talent on a terrible show.

I mean, it's the MUNY, the majority of the audience won't be able to tell who's playing the part unless they have a telescope.

Confused by Jen Cody's casting, but then again I never have cared too much for her. But, Kad is right. No one will tell how old she is at the MUNY.

This is kind of brilliant casting. I think all Cody needs is the right wig, and she'll be hilarious. Powers will be a pretty sexy Morticia.

Can't wait to see this show- I LOVE it as a whole, but it does have it's flaws.

I actually think Cody is the most fitting out of the entire list of casting. I think she'll be absolutely hilarious and I wish I could see her take on the role! Rob McClure is seems like an odd choice. Nevertheless, I wish I could see this!

Hollis is WAY too old for Alice, and should be the Grandma.

[The Distinctive Baritone]

Posted: 5/10/14 at 1:09pm

She's around the same age as John Scherer, no?

McClure and Powers seem too young to be the parents of an 18 year old wednesday

i am certain that Hollis will be great as Alice.

It's sad that such a talent like Rob has had to go back to regional theatre in such a lamebrain, mainstream, crowd-pleaser. Even though Chaplin was bad, he was incredible in it. He should be a star by now.

They can cast whoever they want, but this show is still a heaping pile of sh1t.

The show will never be "great", but I enjoyed Broadway and the changes made for the tour definitely improved the storytelling and overall logic/flow.

And hey -- these folks have to eat too! There's a long tradition of top-notch Broadway folks heading to the MUNY for a limited summer run of a musical that was recently on Broadway. This happens every year in one form or another.

I will be seeing the show Saturday-curios to hear what others think if they see the show. i must say that the costumes look extremely cheap, even by Muny Standards

Would it have killed them to put white makeup on steve rosen's hands?

[darreyl102]

Posted: 7/15/14 at 4:43pm

Check out the ensemble members in their black and white skeleton costumes- i mean, REALLY??

From watching the video there is a lot of very questionable costume choices happening on that stage. Also considering Jenny Powers' TAN, did they change the line about "skin so pale, eyes so dark..."

I legit thought they had a black woman playing Morticia. LOL
