I went to see The Addams Family musical (with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth as Gomez and Morticia, respectively) last night.  It is premiering in Chicago before heading to Broadway.  I was recently in NYC and it is heavily advertised there so it is nice to get a jump on seeing this prior to its wide debut.

Below is my review along with some spoilers so if you want to be completely surprised by the musical, I wouldn’ t suggest reading this. Though, in reality, nothing I write in text really compares to seeing Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth on stage.  Also, please note that this musical is in previews (as has been pointed out in the comments) and so it is a work in progress still (I think that’s what it means) and so your experience may be even better than my own.  Enjoy.

ALL AFTER THE CUT.
