The Hamlet Project: Chicago, is proud to produce Beth Lopes and Jesse Sharp's THE HAMLET PROJECT: ROUND FIVE, directed by Ryan Imhoff. A HILARIOUS take on the classic HAMLET, that turns the tragic Shakespeare play into a, laugh-out-loud drinking play.
When your audience obliges the orchestra Overture by almost reflexively snapping along to the theme song of its 1960's sitcom predecessor, it's clear that they are acquainted with the classic Addam's Family. The delightfully macabre next door neighbors from the dark side are iconic- patriarch, Gomez Addams (Jesse Sharp), his lovely vampirish wife, Morticia (Keleen Snowgren), their two children- the diabolical, Pugsley (Connor Barth) and his "innocent" torture-loving sister, Wednesday (Jennifer Fogarty). The family tree extends to include portly bald-headed Uncle Fester (Shaun Rice), Frankenstein-like butler, Lurch (Ryan Jacob Wood), and a Grandma (Amanda Bruton) of questionable lineage. The characters look their parts, with spot-on costuming by Phelim McDermott, but that's largely where the similarities end.
They're creepy and they're kookey, mysterious and spooky, they're all together ookey -THE ADDAM'S FAMILY. *Snap*Snap*
It's no great work of art, but it's a lot of fun, and it's a great way to exercise those snapping fingers. 'The Addams Family' musical has gone through a lot of changes since its successful Broadway run, most of them made for the better. Although you can't get more talent than the original cast's Bebe Neuwerth and Nathan Lane, the current second national tour perfectly brings to life, or death, the quirky characters and story.
After a sold out two-week run and rave reviews from The New York Times and the New York Post, Three Day Hangover is extending The HAMLET Project: Summer in the City with two additional performances on Sunday, August 25th and Monday, August 26th at 8pm. A Shakespeare drinking theatrical event performed in a bar with audience participation and booze, Beth Gardiner directs a cast of nine, including Greg Beam*, Matt Bradley*, Jose Cagigal, David Hudson*, Paul Kite*, Kim McKean*, Lloyd Mulvey*, Emily Trask*, and Erika Weinheimer. The two additional performances will be staged at Harley's Smokeshack, 356 West 44th Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10036. Plus, stay tuned-in for show dates for Three Day Hangover's The R+J Experience: Star-Cross'd Death Match, a Romeo & Juliet drinking theatrical smackdown to be held at a Midtown bar September 18-27, 2013.
A tour production of the musical comedy The Addams Family, based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, will come to Guangzhou Opera House this August.
