EugLoven, did you scan this from the magazine? Does it mention the name of the photographer? Just curious. Thanks.

I'm kind of excited now! I hope the design is new and interesting. And I REALLY hope the music is good. I love me some Lippa but he's had some bad scores in his day.

I still just don't see Nathan Lane in this role. I'm excited to see Bebe, but I'm just not sure about the chemistry between her and Nathan, which is key to the Morticia/Gomez dynamic.

It's so interesting to see people react to the idea of this show. The Film Addamses interacted far more with the 'real world' than the TV family ever did. I think the twist in the film was that the Addams Family were the "normal" ones and the 'real world' the villain.

Elke, Mark Seliger was the photographer. He's done a lot of work for Rolling Stone.

Joe, I think that's a great point that the villains in the films were never the Addamses. That even as macabre and twisted as they seemed, they were still a giving and loving family.


broadwayjules, I wasn't sure about Lane as Gomez either, since I grew up much more familiar with Raul Julia's Gomez (as opposed to John Astin). I seem to think Nathan Lane will be more similar to John Astin in his portrayal of Gomez.

Very excited for this. Moved away from Chicago in 2007; going back around Xmas -- seeing this and "In the Heights."

I love everything about that picture! I sat in on a rehearsal a few weeks ago and loved what I heard. I can't wait for this production!

I'd be more excited about this if anyone else were playing Gomez.

Posted: 11/5/09 at 2:58pm

Oh really? Kevin from the Backstreet Boys? Lorenzo Lamas? How about Carrot Top?

For me, Nathan's perfect for Gomez.

P,

I've heard two songs from the show, and I have to say I really like it.

Lucas's love song with Wednesday to me is the definition of "hauntingly beautiful," and Puglsey's song about Wednesday is really cute and sweet. Both were ballads and they fit the mood of the Vanity Fair photo

Sorry this is so vague; I'm afraid of giving away too much since the production's so secretive!

Ok Joe, if SOMEONE else were playing Gomez.

If you didn't give in I was going to bring out WAYNE BRADY.

Am I the only person who can't remember what made Wayne Brady famous?

[givesmevoice]

Posted: 11/5/09 at 4:47pm

Wayne Brady's still famous?

[Jane2]

Posted: 11/5/09 at 4:48pm

I think he had a tv talk show.

Posted: 11/5/09 at 4:55pm

His "Big Break" was on Drew Carey's Whose Line Is It Anyways? I caught him hosting a new version of Lets Make a Deal that could not have been worse if had been hosted by a drunken chimp.

Figures my best friend moves out of Chicago just as I have a reason to go and visit him....

My co-worker's daughter is in this and apparently its shaping up to be great. Looking forward to seeing/hearing more from the production!

That cast could not look better, they ring more true to the spirit of 'The Addams Family' than the cast of the movie seemed to.
