The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy: My "Full Disclosure" (Review April 2014)

     The Addams Family musical has crept into Columbus, Ohio this week. Running at the Palace Theatre till Sunday, April 14th, 2014. The show kicked off tonight April 8th, 2014 with a hilarious cast of performers. I saw this show on Broadway in previews with the original cast during the 2010 season. I must say the show has come a very long way since then- Many new arrangements for songs, minor plot lines, choreography, and fresh new takes in comedy adorn this new touring production. Of course the musical features all your favorite comic strip characters, Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Pugsley, Wednesday, Lurch, Thing, Cousin it, and Grandma - who are all fabulously entangled in the story various ways. 

     The story centers around Wednesday coming of age and falling in love (she might even be getting married). Knowing her family isn't what other people might call "normal". Wednesday ask her family to make changes when bringing her love interest home to meet them for the first time. The hilarity ensues when the other Addams try to honor this request to the best of their abilities. The love interest is a young boy consequently from Ohio. His name is Lucas Beineke. Unknown to Wednesday, Lucas is having the same feelings of his family getting in the way as well. The plot then turns from here, showing the audience that there is no definition to normal - and sometimes it is best to just be yourself in awkward situations. 

       The music is moody, and can draw out emotions in everyone. The sets are wondrous, and make you feel as if you are visiting the Addams illustrious home right out of the comic strip for yourself. This show will honestly keep you on your toes, have you feeling "Happy/Sad", and I guarantee you will feel like you are part of the family by the time you leave. I couldn't help but compare some of them to my own family members. This show is for everyone. A fun family night out to the theater. No matter your age, you will find something to relate with in this show.

       You won't want to miss your chance to see this creepy, kooky, and wonderful musical.

 You will not stop laughing during this wonderful night of live theater.
