BWW Reviews: Sills, Gettelfinger Lead FAMILY-Friendly Musical at TPAC's Andrew Jackson Hall through 1/8
by Jeffrey Ellis - Jan 4, 2012


With an alluring and gorgeous Morticia (played by Broadway diva Sara Gittelfinger) and a charming and swellegant Gomez (Great White Way heartthrob Douglas Sills) leading the charge, the onstage iteration of Charles Addams' cartoon family is surely a dysfunctional lot.

by Nicole Rosky - Dec 19, 2011
