The Citi Performing Arts Center was thrilled to be part of bringing the new musical THE ADDAMS FAMILY to audiences. “We invested and became a partner in Elephant Eye Theatrical, the exciting new theatrical development and production company, in order to take a pro-active role in the creation of exciting new musicals for Broadway and stages around the world, so it’s especially gratifying to have the first one, THE ADDAMS FAMILY, make its Broadway debut with a brilliant and exciting cast and creative team,” said Joe Spaulding, President & CEO of Citi Performing Arts Center.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (librettists of the 2006 Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Jersey Boys), music and lyrics by Drama Desk Award-winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), direction and design by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter, The Metropolitan Opera’s Satyagraha) and choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Next to Normal, Jersey Boys).
In this original story, the famously macabre Addams Family is put to the test when outsiders come to dinner, hurling Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Fester, Grandmama and Lurch headlong into a night that will change the family forever.
The Addams Family Musical came to The Citi Performing Arts Center February 7 - 19, 2012. For more information on the show please visit The Addams Family Musical.
