Is there no one left that wants to write an original Broadway musical
anymore? Has inspiration been lost to the almighty $$$?
Since Broadway has been inundated with revivals and movie musical
remakes, it was only a matter of time before producers went after
1960s sitcoms for material.
We've just learned that The Addams Family is making its way to
Broadway in April, after a limited release in Chicago. The reviews
came in mixed and most agreed that the show requires some major tweeks
before it comes to Broadway.
But it is coming and now we have word that leading the rework will be
Jerry Zaks, mastermind behind the recent revivals of La Cage aux
Folles and Little Shop of Horrors.
Our instincts tell us that this could be a flop, but there are two
things keeping it afloat. Their names are Nathan Lane and Bebe
Neuwirth, who are starring as leads Gomez and Morticia Addams.
That's a Broadway royalty pairing we can not ignore!
Will U go see the show in the spring?

Oh Hell, they think nobody else exists on Broadway but Nathan Lane!!
There has to be a slew of worthy unknowns that could knock that show
outta the park!

Lane got good personal notices in Chicago, and is a box office draw.
It's the book that needs work.

You really think fewer people know her as Lilith?

I'd say more eyeballs have seen her bedevil 'Frasier' than have ever
seen her on the boards.
