I'm more scared to see if this is theatrical and if it sings, when the design looks just like the TV and film versions. That looks like they dressed up Broadway celebrities for a magazine Halloween publicity shoot.

Blaxx - I strongly disagree with you. But in all fairness, I must ask... What would you change, then, to make it more pleasing for you???
Any ideas or helpful thoughts, Blaxx?
Edit: Aaron Tveit (naked) doesn't count!!! :)
Aww, I was going to say Aaron Tveit naked!
I didn't say anything against the show (ridiculous if I would). I just said that I'm scared to see the same characters we know from film and TV break into song and dance. By looking at that picture, it seems that we are getting the exact same cartoon-inspired characters who were never popular by having musical numbers, and suddenly they are given that.
Who knows, maybe it will work wonders. Although I must say I find this kind of humor more effective in smaller doses (like a short TV episode), than in a two hour story line like in the films (which IMHO didn't work very well at all and had ridiculously convoluted plots).

Well, the the first preview is in two weeks and no one on this board or anyone not IN the production has heard a WORD about the score, the production or ANYTHING. That could be a great sign or a bad sign, but the last show I can remember with this little behind the scenes activity was... I can't even remember... THOU SHALT NOT, perhaps?
I'd say the original TV series is what the films are based on. There wasn't much reinterpretation in the films that didn't exist on TV.
Really? From what little of the TV show I saw, I'd say John Astin's Gomez is VERY different from Raul Julia's.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

The movies did take a fairly radical pitch-shift, making the Addamses not so much a morbid but loveable family but a cheerfully psychopathic, decidedly amoral (if not evil "in a friendly way") clan extending back through hundreds of years of decadence and violence. The television Addamses were eccentrics with a taste for bondage and the outre, whereas the film Addamses lived in their own little alternate-reality nightmare world that extended only as far as their backyard.
Apparently, the musical is following the television show's lighter track.
