One of the best shows I've seen yet. The set and cast was captivating and there was never a dull moment.

First half was a bit slow. Second half got more interesting with effects and scenes. A bit formulaic but it was good.

The show is a repackaged "Le Cage Aux Folles.". Some music was stirring, but other tunes were forgettable. The graveyard people served little purpose. The show had nice humorous moments, and some effective sight gags. It is a worthwhile evening's diversion, but failed to ascend to a first rate production.

First OK was good; second act was mediocre.

very entertaining and an enjoyable evening.

Hilarious! Great character development ....fantastic dancing. Delightfully funny and entertaining!

Very funny, I am glad I had the opportunity to see this production. I would recommend people to go see this show if you liked the TV series. Everyone can relate to these characters even if they are "kooky and a little spooky!"

Loved the comedy. Writer even brought in some of the latest news/political topics suitable for comedy. Cast resembled the original Addams Family characters pretty much to a T and they all had wonderful singing ability.

This is a fun show. Good music and dancing, very entertaining. The performances were a bit uneven and the ending was weak but overall, I liked it. It was a nice, but silly, fun night out.

The seats were great, although the theater was not filled...maybe 65-70% capacity. The show was great...much better than I anticipated. The dancing, costumes and writing made the evening truly enjoyable! Can't wait for another show and another deal on Goldstar!

Great show! Great singing! Loved it!

Really liked it

We loved it! The characters are just like we remembered them, the orchestra set the mood, and the cast was inspired! All in all, a wonderful performance.

Great show & great venue!

We enjoyed the play. Lots of laughs and memories

What a truly enjoyable evening. There is no one like Doug Sills on the Broadway stage today. A great many laughs, some poignant moments, and amazing scene changes. The plot has some fresh twists to keep you well-entombed :)Amazing seats for the price. Thanks Goldstar!!!!!!!!!!!

This show was a raucous, hilarious, campy, great way to spend a summer evening! It's light fare, served up with humor and style. The music, singing, sets, and entire production were colorful and full of fun.

Some of the singing talent was quite good. The direction was lacking in many scenes as actors stood on stage simply watching one another sing. The casting for Morticia was very questionable.

We comprised a group of 4 adults, one 18 yr old and one 13 yr old. We liked our orchestra seats in row Y. There were a lot of negative reviews so our expectations were not too high. This is a musical and I would agree with the negative comments about the songs. They sounded very formulaic, like they had been computer generated based on popular broadway numbers. That said, having seen the original broadway production of Shrek which we thoroughly enjoyed, the music in The Addams Family is better. It is a shame that they did not use the tv theme song more.

We thought the entire cast were terrific. The standouts were Gomez and Uncle Fester, but they were all good. The singing was excellent and far surpassed the material they were given to sing. We felt the sets could have been more elaborate. It is the first show I can remember seeing that used the curtain a lot for effect, but there was a vaguely vaudeville feel to the whole production so I suppose this was in keeping with that vibe. We would not rush to see it again, but we all agreed it was an entertaining evening that was worth the cost of the tickets purchased through Goldstar.

Silly show, no memborable songs, cast and costumes were fun.

Well cast production. I loved Douglas Sills who played Gomez!

This production is fun. However, sometimes it was hard to understand the lyrics in the songs or hear the dialogue. Although fun, it did not live up to its potential. But it definitely is worth the price of a Goldstar ticket.

If you had watched the TV version you would be ahead. That being said, It was still an enjoyable event. Some of the jokes were timely and the chorus was fantastic.

I liked the show- it was quite enjoyable. But I found the actress playing Morticia a bit too 'stiff'. She is supposed to be sexy, enticing...almost a tad naughty. Instead, she felt a bit uptight.

It was absolutely fabulous!! Fun, witty, and brought back wonderful memories. A must see.

Cast did a great job - very entertaining!

Got to love the heart and soul of the actors. Unfortunately I must agree with the Washigton Post on their review of this production: BORING.

I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and found the show quite entertaining. I can't understand why the critics gave mediocre ratings.

Great actors with great voices... sets were excellent... but man, what a boring show. Boring plot, songs... I would've left but was in the middle of a row and didn't want to disturb neighbors.

Great music, singing, sets. The dialogue was clever.

Not the greatest show I've ever seen, but it was entertaining. A pleasant 2 + hour respite from the heat. The cast tried their best to inject life into a lackluster story. All in all I had a nice evening.

Good entertainment. Nothing great, but fun to watch, although a little long.

Music was great! Characters were wonderful! Loved the dancing ancestors too!

This show is really lots of fun! The performers are great, voices terrific! The sets are wonderful and so creative, including some very amusing puppetry. We recommended it.

This is a really fun show......lots,of laughs and just a fun evening.

It was good, a fun evening.
The male lead was excellent, the female, Morticia, was fair...........not as enthusiastic and lively as Gomez.

In all it was a good show.

Lots of very funny one-liners and lyrics, very good dance, incredibly forgettable music. The first act is funnier than the second, which dragged. The kids (11 and 12 year olds) loved the humor especially. There was some sexual innuendo, but I think it would go over the heads of younger kids. Basically, a fun family night-out.

This was an excellent musical. My husband and I had a great time. Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, Pugsley, Wednesday, grandma, and Fester were all perfectly cast!

Innocuous entertainment; the score was disappointing. Only two of the songs were memorable and they're fading already. Wish I had spent the money on something else.

silly but fun,and my teen-aged kids enjoyed it and laughed a lot; the audience was engaged which helped the overall experience.

for any fan of the Addams family -- a nice way to spend the evening (especially at the Goldstar price!)

The show was very entertaining and a great selection for the summer. There were many tourists in the audience with children and it was great that they had this show to choose. My husband and I enjoyed it immensely!!!!

High energy, wonderful cast thoroughly enjoyed!

All whole family including two teenage girls thoroughly enjoyed the production. Talented cast and very entertaining. Glad we went. Our girls would be happy to see it again.

It was ridiculous, but very funny. I very much enjoyed it as did the audience.

Good show and plot. Great characters especially Uncle Fester. A well deserved standing ovation at the end.

Performances were very good. High energy ensemble. Songs not very memorable, plot thin. After first act, I was ready to call it a night. The closing number to Act 1 (typically, the big number) was disappointing. Act 2 was better than Act 1 in plot, some songs and effects (creativity). Douglas Sills is very good as Gomez.

Thoughly enjoyed this event. Attended with my 13-year old who also loved it. Great acting, singing, humor, and realistic scenery. A must-see for teens and adults--especially those us who remember the original TV series!

Awesome show. Funny and great songs!

High quality road show missing some (but not all) of the spark of the broadway version. Pugsly and Uncle Fester bring down the house with featured songs "Pulled" and "The Moon and Me". Overall a solid, high quality production with the exception of the sound engineering, which made dead-pan sound a little too flat.

Great event! It does have adult references but you could probably get away bringing your kids to it. It was very entertaining and I had no idea what would happen next.

It would help if you used to watch the show or the movie to understand the background. Parts of it reminded me of Fiddler on the Roof and Rocky Horror.

Great musical!!!

it was a nice evening with several laughs. there were no memorable songs.

Fantastic performance! Loved every second!

I wasn't sure what to expect but it turned out to be very entertaining and witty. If you enjoy a little camp, this show certainly embraces it!

I'm glad I saw it but the plot and most of the music was lame. I loved the beginning (yes, they played the theme song) but it dragged toward intermission. The 2nd act was better and they had cute scenes with Cousin It and Uncle Fester and the moon. The sets, actors and orchestra were all very good.

It was hilarious. I highly recommend it but would not recommend it for children.

Took me back to fond memories of the tv show. Not the strongest of musical performances but the comedy, scenery and choreography make for a fun show and evening.

It was shlocky, predictable and great fun. If you go expecting the deadpan Wednesday or the dry, serene delivery of Morticia you will be disappointed. But if you put that aside (and that for some reason Morticia sounds like Holly Hunter), the laughter is real. Is it "great" theater? No. Is if "fun" theater? Absolutley.

The plot was thin, and the music was not memorable. There were some very clever funny parts and a few very creative special effects. Some of the voices were exceptional, while others were just okay. I laughed several times and enjoyed myself, and I'm glad I saw it, but I wouldn't want to see it again and it won't be remembered among my favorites.

Definitely exceeded our expectations, and the kids (ages, 10, 15 and 17)loved it too. The actor who plays Gomez is fabulous. Hilarious show!

Great for the whole family! I brought my 9 and 7 year old and they also love it! Some adult human that went over their heads. The cast was fantastic. Very fun evening!

None of the music is memorable, the storyline is mediocre, many of the scenes, particularly in the second act seem to be just filler, but it has a few cute/funny parts.

Wednesday getting married was a new twist. The set was great and the music an singing good. The fester and Lerch characters were the best. The finialy was very good.

Very amusing! Our seats were 4 rows from the back of the orchestra and two in from the center side of the aisle...

The play was a pleasant, nostalgic homage to the TV series and couldn't help but delight fans. The cast did a wonderful job and the staging and musical numbers were entertaining. We especially enjoyed Gomez Adams, Our only negative is that we found the plotline lacked originality.

This show is a lot of fun! We took my parents for their anniversary and they loved it. It was lively and the special effects were great-an enjoyable night out!

This was an outstanding and very entertaining production. I would give it a five star rating. Highly recommended for general audience.

This was cleverly written and absolutely hilarious. All of the actors were great -- from the singing to the dancing and the delivery of some really great one-liners. We had a wonderful time and it was definitely worth the 3-hour round trip commute into DC.

Rollicking good fun. Don't expect everything to be based on the '60s TV show, but there are classic vinettes ("Thing" and "Cousin It" make brief appearances). Gomez, Fester and Wednesday all great, Morticia a little less so.

Great show - especially if you had seen the old TV shows. Definitely a lot of fun. It would have been better if the sound system was better. This is the second show that I have seen at the Kennedy Center where the poor quality of the sound system detracted from the overall event - I'm not sure what is going on there.

Fun performance suitable for the whole family. Singers and dancers are excellent. Recommended for light summer entertainment.

This musical was a fun concept but the story was ho-hum, the songs were unmemorable and the performances uneven. The stand-outs were the actors playing Gomez, Fester, and Lurch. The stage production was very clever and well done.

Really fun! A good time for the family

"The Addams Family" is such a disappointing production, flawed in so many ways, that it's hard to know where to begin. I loved the Raul Julia and Angelica Huston movie versions of Addams Family, and even liked the old TV version of it, so I was definitely pre-disposed to like the theatrical version. But there is no plot to the play, which is a definite obstacle to a successful production. It's not as if a complicated plot-line or Shakespearean eloquence is expected of a production of The Addams Family, but a plot is needed that goes beyond the Addams meeting Wednesday's boyfriend and her family for dinner one night. Hanging the play on a dinner just doesn't work. A dramatic conflict is contrived about Gomez and Morticia, but it doesn't seem real in the slightest. Since the plot is so weak, the songs that discuss the plot are equally weak since there's very little substance to them. When one of the signature songs is called "Full Disclosure," you know you're in trouble. Added to the general lack of plot and lackluster song lyrics was uninspiring dancing and tepid acting on the part of Morticia and Wednesday. The show rolled along but never lifted off, sad to say.

The performance was really well put together. The singing and dancing was great. The staff at the Kennedy Center was very organized, knowledgeable and helpful. I felt like I was having a night out on the town even though it was a Wednesday (not a Wednesday Addams). I would definitely recommend this.

Entertained from beginning to end. My friends and I loved it. Orchestra was great, voices were great, songs were fun. Just a fun experience.

A very fun evening!

Very funny! Top Notch talent. Singing is amazing. Wonderful evening!

My daughter, 7, and I loved it. More current adult humor than Addam's silliness. Highly recommend.

It was an amazing show!! Fun and refreshing with loads of humor. The only glitch I noticed was that the dance challenge between Morticia and Gomez didn't seem well choreographed. Other than that, the show was a blast. Lurch was outstanding! Haha

I saw this on Broadway and there were a lot of new songs and some storyline changes so if you saw it before go again. I really liked Gomez with the accent and even though Wednesday was the understudy you would not have know it she was great.

Fun, enjoyable evening. No heavy lifting. Very entertaining. Good seats.

Hilarious! Really good show!

It was funny at times, boring other times.
Uncle Fester steals the show. Mortica poorly cast.

Great fun. I was tickled listening to people trying to explain The Addams Family to younger people who are not familiar with the TV show.

I had read the reviews about the production in New York and was not expecting a superb production. Was I wrong! The show was outstanding in every way and the audience loved it. The performers were superb. The singing and dancing were great. I am planning to go again and take my granddaughter. I am a enthusiastic theater goer and I highly recommend the Addams Family! Don't miss this show.

The Addams Family was fun and entertaining for all ages. The musical was true to the original TV show yet also contemporary. A wonderful show for the summer.

Absolutely loved it. Better than expected. Sets, singing, acting, comedy were all top notch. Audience was laughing hysterically. Go! Go! Go! (especially at Goldstar's price)

Great show. Gomez great actor and singer. You have to see it

A nice evening of energetic laughter.

What fun! This show was a hoot from beginning to end.

After reading some of the reviews on the play, I was a bit prepared to be disappointed - fortunately, I was preparing for an eventuality that didn't have a possibility of happening. The actors were fantastic, the music was wonderful, and the energy of the crowd was upbeat and ready to be pleased. From the moment people snapped to the intro music until they rose to give a standing ovation, the entire night was filled with pleasure.

This show was so amazing and funny and great for all ages! The songs were very clever, and it was classic and true to the show I watched growing up, but still wonderful for my kids even though they weren't really familiar with the show. Our seats were great as well - near the back of the orchestra section, but a perfect view of the stage.

The Addams Family was a Broadway like production. The cast, sets, and sound quality were superb. It's a must see show.

My fiance and I felt the storyline was hackneyed - been there done that. Lucas even makes mention to it in the second act. The songs weren't very memorable and "The Game" was not the spooky plot driver as I'd hoped Addams Family would have it be.
The highlights were Granny's scenes and Uncle Fester's love song to the moon. I'm honestly glad I didn't pay full price to see it.
Also, Hand and Cousin It BARELY have but 5 second long cameos a few times. Wish they were in the plot.

The show is great fun.

Loved the production.

Loved it. It was so silly, it was great!

The show was very well done and very entertaining. My wife and I had a great time. I would gladly attend again and would strongly recommend it to others interested in musical theatre, and perhaps even those who aren't.

Funny musical. Great Fun! Very enjoyable! Loved the characters, the sets, the music, the special effects!
