The Addams Family Broadway tickets call 1.800.688.4000
When producers announced last year that Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth were going to star in a new stage adaptation of “The Addams Family,” theater audiences applauded the dream casting and producers geared themselves for a box-office bonanza.
What a difference a year makes.

On Thursday, “The Addams Family” finally limped onto Broadway following a tryout run in Chicago that was plagued with rumors of cast misery, rewrites and other forms of backstage drama. Jerry Zaks was reportedly called in to salvage the production, which was initially staged by experimental theater artists Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch.
Based on the Charles Addams cartoons that ran in The New Yorker (and not the TV series or the two feature films), the musical stars Lane and Neuwirth as Gomes and Morticia, the heads of the macabre Addams household. Rounding out the cast are Jackie Hoffman as Grandma, Zachary James as Lurch and Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Fester.
Despite negative word of mouth, “The Addams Family” appears to be an audience hit so far, with robust ticket sales reported for preview performances at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theater.
The critics, however, are another matter entirely.
