One line fromthe delightfully macabre new touring production of The Addams Family sums up the basic premise of the show: “Whenyou’re an Addams, the standard answers don’t apply.”
The easyanswer is that they’re not your average family. You might be right in hopingthey never move in next door, but they definitely won’t overstay their welcome atthe Fox Cities P.A.C. February 26 – March 3, 2013. After what Variety called“scary reviews” in Chicago and New York, the creative team went back to thedrawing board and has created a touring musical that lives up to the familyname.
The AddamsFamily – husband and wife Gomez and Morticia, the kidsWednesday and Pugsley, and extended family, Uncle Fester, Grandma and Lurch – werethe brainchildren of cartoonist Charles Addams. They’ve existed in variousforms in his cartoons since the 1930s, but finally were adopted as The AddamsFamily for the 1960s. Since then, his oddly charming family has been featuredin multiple television series and motion pictures.
So why arethey so popular? Well, just because the Addams aren’t normal, doesn’t mean theydon’t have normal problems. In this production, Wednesday, the ultimateprincess of darkness, has a met a boy – a respectable boy she plans to marry aslong as her family doesn’t scare him off. Honestly, is there anything scarierthan meeting the in-laws?
