The Addams Family
The Addams Family Comes to the Broadway Stage!
Victoria Theatre Association is thrilled to help bring the new musical The Addams Family to Broadway this spring.
“We invested and became a partner in Elephant Eye Theatrical, the exciting new theatrical development and production company, to take a pro-active role in the creation of exciting new musicals for Broadway and stages around the world," said Ken Neufeld, President and CEO of Victoria Theatre Association and the Arts Center Foundation. "It’s especially gratifying to have the first one, The Addams Family, about to make its Broadway debut with a brilliant and exciting cast and creative team.”
In this original story, the famously macabre Addams Family is put to the test when outsiders come to dinner, hurling Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Fester, Grandmama and Lurch headlong into a night that will change the family forever.
Starring two-time Tony Award® winners Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth as Gomez and Morticia, The Addams Family features two-time Tony Award® nominee Terrence Mann as Mal Beineke, two-time Tony Award® nominee Carolee Carmello as Alice Beineke, two-time Tony Award® nominee Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Fester, Jackie Hoffman as Grandmama, Zachary James as Lurch, Adam Riegler as Pugsley, Wesley Taylor as Lucas Beineke and Krysta Rodriguez as Wednesday.
The Addams Family features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (librettists of the 2006 Tony Award®-winning Best Musical, Jersey Boys), music and lyrics by Drama Desk Award-winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), direction and design by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter, The Metropolitan Opera’s Satyagraha) and choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Next to Normal, Jersey Boys).
The Addams Family premiered to raves at Chicago's Ford Center for the Performing Arts/Oriental Theatre in November 2009 and began Broadway previews at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on March 8, 2010 with a gala opening night planned for April 8.
