Full Musical Cast & Crew List

mineowyn of livejournal.com has made a nice compilation of info about the upcoming Addams Family musical!



The cast of this developmental workshop includes Nathan Lane as Gomez, Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia, Kevin Chamberlin as Fester, Zachary James as Lurch, Mary Louise Burke as Grandmama, Terrence Mann, Jan Maxwell and more. As is often the case with readings and workshops, this does not necessarily reflect what the final production casting will be.

As previously announced, the musical will make its world premiere Nov. 13, 2009-Jan. 10, 2010, at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts, Oriental Theatre in Chicago, prior to a spring 2010 launch on Broadway.

With a book by Marshall Brickman and partner Rick Elice (librettists of the 2006 Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Jersey Boys) and music and lyrics by Drama Desk Award-winning composer-lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), the musical is wholly original and not based on Addams Family material from other media.

Produced by Elephant Eye Theatrical and Roy Furman, The Addams Family has direction and design by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, the creators of Shockheaded Peter.

The Addams Family creative team also includes choreographer Sergio Trujillo, lighting designer Natasha Katz and musical director Mary-Mitchell Campbell.

Summary: Because we're Addamses. Madness, psychosis, and the macabre are our children and our food. And we gladly feast on those that would subdue us.

Addams Family Fanfiction Challenge!

insanepink of livejournal.com has issued an Addams Family fanfiction challenge! If you're not familiar with the concept, a fanfiction challenge is a call to fiction writers to take up the pen and create a fanfiction story using a specific prompt.

The prompts, set by insanepink, are as follows:

-Morticia and Gomez getting a divorce
-Wednesday and Joel (Joel= Wednesday's love interest in Addams Family Values)
-Addams Family Parallel Universe
-Addams and Munsters Cross over
-The having been separated for ages and they meeting up again.
-Something to do with Puglsey (no one ever writes about him)
-Something to do with Fester
-Something to do with Ophelia
-Something to do with Grandmama
-How Morticia and Gomez met.

Hopefully, these prompts will inspire a few stories! If you decide to participate in the challenge, post your story in the livejournal community Addamses and/or The Addams Source. If you don't have a livejournal account but would still like to participate, just post a link to your story and I would be happy to pass it along. Remember, any story you write will be appreciated--there just isn't enough Addams Family fiction in the world. We need more!

Buffy/Addams Family/Munsters fanfiction... Oh my!

Well, this may not be exactly what most Addams Family fans are looking for, but the Addams family and the Munsters were recently mentioned in a piece of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfiction called "The Letter" by shylittlemuse of livejournal.

A warning to Addams Family fans, though, the story mentions Addams Family character deaths, and the main focus of the story is on characters of Buffy the Vampire.
