Inspired by the macabre comic strip which later spawned a hit TV series and two movies, this musical version of The Addams Family features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, the team behind Jersey Boys, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party) and direction by Shockheaded Peter's Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch. The Addams Family: The Broadway Musical ran for more than 700 performances on Broadway, earning a Tony nomination for Best Original Score. Learn More

It was fairly funny. Good for a late night laugh I suppose. The actor who played Freddie Mercury was the pick of the bunch.Written on Nov 30 2009

Description
NMTC is turning last Christmas's smash hit show into a new holiday tradition for Chicago. Cap off a visit to the Macy’s Windows and Christkindlmarket with a trip to the Spiders From Mars Space Station with The David Bowie Hepzikat Funky Velvet Flarney Solstice Spectacular, Live...From Space!’ (Or David Bowie's Christmas Special 1977 Network Edit).
Starring the character of David Bowie, this one of kind variety show spectacular snatched from the archives of 1977 brings the kind of star power that only ‘Ziggy Stardust’ can command. This year, character appearances by Mick Jagger, Annie Lennox, Iggy Pop, Marianne Faithfull, Paul Lynde, Charo, and more, plus a special appearance by the Ghost of Freddy Mercury, will take audience members on an exciting journey of song and dance reminding us all of the joys of brotherhood and giving. But when the mysterious Bizarro Bowie appears to reveal his scattered past, it’s a race against time to save the holidays from the ultimate universal implosion. Although, with this many celebrities on board, what could possibly go wrong? Find out at The David Bowie Hepzikat Funky Velvet Flarney Solstice Spectacular, Live...From Space!.
Writer/Director Steven Attanasie, whose previous New Millennium credits include Cubicle: An Office Space Musical and Manos: Rock Opera of Fate, believes the production came from the bottomless pit of some network archive. “Thinking about a David Bowie special that never aired was all the spark I needed even though it has resulted in several mental breakdowns. When you’re dealing with the kind of egos that these characters bring out in actors, you kind of expect that,” says Attanassie.
