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

Unfortunately, disappointing and not up to my expectations. There was some very good acting. But, the second act was simply silly and lacking in comedy.Written on Mar 17 2008

About the Ticket Supplier: Actors' Gang
The Actors' Gang is one of Los Angeles' most enduring theatre ensembles. Founded in 1981 by a group of renegade theatre artists, the Gang's mission is to create bold, original works for the stage and daring reinterpretations of the classics. Our work is raw, immediate, socially minded, and crafted with the highest artistic standards.
Over the course of our first 20 years we have produced 68 plays and won over 100 awards, winning acclaim for our interpretations of Shakespeare, Bruchner, Brecht, Moliere, Aeschylus, Ibsen and Chekhov, while developing in workshop new plays that address the world today through a prism of satire, popular culture and raucous stagecraft.
Through co-productions, The Actors' Gang presented the West Coast Premiere of Eric Bogosian's "Suburbia" with the Namaste Theatre Company, Roger Guenver Smith's "A Huey P. Newton Story," Danny Hoch's "Jails, Hospitals, Hip Hop" with Center Theatre Group, and "Medea/Macbeth/Cinderella" with The Cornerstone Theatre Company. The Actors' Gang has toured with productions as the US representative at the Edinburgh Festival and to New York's Public Theatre with "Carnage, A Comedy"; with "The Imaginary Invalid" to the Rushmore Festival in New York, and in 2001 saw "Bat Boy, A Musical," developed at the Actors' Gang, won the Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics award for best new musical Off-Broadway in New York.
