The Addams Family is a smash-hit musical comedy that brings the darkly delirious world of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and, of course, Lurch to spooky and spectacular life. This magnificently macabre new musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk-winning composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys) and Olivier Award-winning director/designers Phelim McDermott & Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter) with creative consultation by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks. Come meet the family. We’ll leave the lights off for you.
The musical numbers are average, and even though this is a musical, there are actually too many songs. Aragón’s singing voice is lovely and he channels Gomez a la John Astin well. One of the biggest issues is that Gomez has a lot of songs, especially in Act One, that are back to back. The best musical numbers are the ones which give the audience glimpses into the Addams family members’ personalities.
Chemistry and timing have been a consistent success throughout all the years for the Addams family. It starts with the delightfully over-the-top passion of Gomez and Morticia, pulled off with panache by Aragon and Koher.
