Given the lackluster reviews, I would say it lessens the chance for "The Addams Family" to snag some of the bigger awards (i.e Best Musical).
I can only see two nomination on the horizon for this show:
- Best Set Design - Best Actor In A Musical, Nathan Lane (All of his reviews were glowing, but I feel more superior candidates are going to usurp this award).

If everyone has their way, the show won't get any nominations let alone win any because no one thinks it deserves any.
But I hope at least Nathan gets a nomination.

Definatly yes!!! The music is hilarious and upbeat, whenever I'm on 46th street everyone comes out of the theater smiling and raving, and the people who are in the show are fantastic. I have tickets in June and I can't wait!! I think the nominations they'll get are for Nathan Lane, Jackie Hoffman, Best Musical, Best original score, & best set design.

Say NO to drugs and YES to Jackie Hoffman Live At Joes Pub!

So, have you officially asked EVERYONE who has seen the show? If not, please do not make stupid comments saying EVERYONE. I think it defentally deserves some awards.
Lane still received glowing reviews, and I think he'll be remembered, along with the score (because of the dearth of eligible scores) and some of the design elements.
I did not make a "stupid" comment, I made a realistic comment.
Personally, I WANT them to get nominations and WIN, especially Nathan.

Addams Family would be my first choice for a touring production, and aren't theatre critics not voting this year? If that's the case, it could still do well. If I had a theatre in Podunk, MI, I would vote for Addams Family.
I could see Kevin Chamberland getting a nod, perhaps Krysta Rodriquez if they need to fill out the Supporting Actress in a musical category.
Lane may well walk away with another Best Actor in a musical Tony, considering there really doesn't seem to be much competition in that category.
