We just got back from watching the new musical “The Addams Family” based on the iconic and gothic family of characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams, making its world premiere in Chicago at the Oriental Theater.
We’ll be talking in-depth about the new show on Friday’s podcast, but for now I just wanted to share some of the press pics.
It’s always exciting when a new musical gets developed and makes it’s world premiere right in your own back yard. The musical includes Carolee Carmello (from Urinetown) as Alice Beineke, the uptight mom and I can easily see actor Kevin Chamberlin receive a Tony nomination for his fantastic portrayal of Uncle Fester.
Did they use the Addams Family TV theme song in the musical? Listen to tomorrow’s show and find out.
