Thanks dueby_boys!! I enjoy getting full cast playbills as you never know who may end up being the next Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie!!

There are FIVE Mega stars from New York in this production:

Nathan Lane (Gomez) - enough said (2 Time Tony Award Winner)
Bebe Nuerwith (Morticia) - Cheers, 2 Time Tony Award Winner
Kevin Chamberlin (Fester) - 3 Time Tony Award Nominee, one for this performance
Carolee Carmello (Alice, the other mother) - Broadway big star, 2 Time Tony Award Nominee
Terrence Mann (Mal, Alice's husband) - Broadway LEGEND, 2 Time Tony Award Nominee (including originating roles on the stage such as Javert in Les Miserables, Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Chauvelin in The Scarlet Pimpernel, Rum Tum Tugger in Cats, etc etc)

And stars a Broadway favourites Jackie Hoffman (as Grandma) and Adam Reigler (as Pugsley).


I wrote to them about a month ago and hope I hear back. I legitimately just saw this last night (on Saturday) last minute on a whim and spent way too much money than I would've liked. The music is so terrible, the lyrics are even worse (I'm a huge Broadway fan), but Lane makes Gomez his own and Bebe has Morticia so spot on. It's a shame they are given this horrible material (There are legitimately only 3 good songs - the opening, Wednesday's "Pulled" (which I vow people will be singing for years - YouTube it!), and Bebe/Morticia's "Just Around the Corner" which is so funny). Cousin It & Thing make appearances too and it's beautiful to look at. The acting is top notch!!!!!! But still a pretty bad show and SOOOO un-Addams like it's depressing! It's pretty funny though!

Congrats! I didn't wait around last night, but back in May I found a playbill on the street and got one of my favourite performers ever Carolee Carmello to sign it -- she has sent me one of my best replies that I've posted on here to this day.

For anyone who wants to know - the playbills are now in BLACK & WHITE.

Thanks for the comment TheScarletPimpernel!! I hope you get yours back soon! I wished I lived closer to NY, I'd love to see myself! Thank you too for the great info on the 5 MEGA stars that signed it.

Glad that I got one of the colored playbills! Were those just made in a limited amount?

Generally speaking shows (except Roundabout) do Colored playbills for the first several months or until it is too costly (printing in Black & white is cheaper than color obviously). The Addams Family I'm sure is undoubtably trying to save as much money as it can because the producers/etc know it will fail. It will undoubtably 100% not last once this cast is gone. It isn't good enough. It's fun to watch Nathan Lane and Bebe Neurwith, not the Addams family characters they put on stage. And the music is horrible.

Something like Wicked is still doing coloured playbills years later, same for The Lion King.

I just spent way too much on my ticket, they don't do any types of discounts and I'd say a good 65% of the house sells at a rate of $136.50. Way too much for a ticket. The entire orchestra (partial seats, the last row, etc) all go for that price. But I guess to keep it open they gotta do that since the reviews and even, quite frankly, word of mouth hasn't been too good.

Oh okay! Thanks!! Hopefully the original cast will be with the play for a while!! Still wished I lived closer to NY. :neutral:

Congrats on the success, Ryan! I got mine a couple months ago.

I'm actually kind of hoping this play would hurry up and close, so they might consider bringing Beauty and the Beast back, after seeing what a failure in the long run The Little Mermaid was and the Addams Family will be.

It's a quality cast though.
