THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a new musical based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams. The touring production not only has added 3 new songs but the musical has also been reworked by the creative team making it even better than the Broadway production which closed on Broadway on December 31, 2011.
The tour started performances on September 15, 2011 at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts in New Orleans and continues playing at major markets across North America. This will mark the tour's second visit to South Florida. THE ADDAMS FAMILY features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. The production is directed and designed (sets and costumes) by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch with creative consultation by Jerry Zaks and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
The newly revamped touring production features lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by ACME Sound Partners and puppetry by Basil Twist. The production also features music supervision by Mary-Mitchell Campbell, orchestrations by Larry Hochman, dance arrangements by August Eriksmoen, hair design by Tom Watson, make-up design by Angelina Avallone and special effects design by Greg Meeh.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY will be at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from April 9 thru 21, 2013.
