Just back from New York and saw The Addams Family. Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth both very good and a very interestng set. The rest of the cast were good, especially the actress playing Grandma. Thought the staging was really good, lots of use of some spectacular front swagged curtains which are used throughout the show revealing different parts of the action and some clever use of puppets. However, not a memorable song in the show and a very weak book. Music was a mixture of styles, some old fashioned and a couple of Rent/Spring Awakening type songs. Seemed like they were desperately trying to fill out the 2hrs.30mins with as many silly gags as possible. I know that Nathan Lane was in the Producers but it reminded me of that show crossed with Young Frankenstein. Dont think it will be on Broadway for years to come but will probably have a healthy run as long as the 2 main leads are in it.
