The Addams Family
Ordway Center for the Performing Arts
345 Washington St St. Paul
“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 and 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 Addams Family Reviews
| Star Tribune - Somewhat Recommended
"... Even when you take this show on its own terms, setting aside expectations and recollections of Addams' past, it's not very good. The ooky, kooky Addams brand has been ground in the sausage factory of 21st-century Broadway -- that cheap butcher block of lame jokes, middling songs and precious plots. Cue Lurch groaning and shaking his head."

"... The best thing about the show is the Drama-Desk-Award-winning set by McDermott and Crouch, especially the lovely setpiece depicting a yard and a tree with a rope swing overlooking New York. If you're thinking that there's something wrong when an Addams Family review includes the word "lovely," my response is: exactly."
