If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the Addams Family invited your in-laws over for dinner, this national tour of The Addams Family musical—now playing at the Ordway—offers a deliciously strange answer. It’s macabre, messy, full of heart, and just self-aware enough to keep you laughing even when the jokes get delightfully groan-worthy.
The Addams Family musical isn’t as campy and charming as the movies, nor does it have the eccentric vibes of Tim Burton’s Wednesday. The musical makes you cringe (and not in the way a member of the Addams family would want you to).
