They’re still creepy and they’re still kooky. The upcoming Addams Family musical shared backstage interviews and a cast photo with Vanity Fair, proving that the actors will stay true to the undead hilarity of Charles Addams’s original New Yorker cartoons.
Nathan Lane, still hammy but now cadaverous, says Addams’s original drawings of Gomez resemble “someone like me.” Krysta Rodriguez says—deadpan—that her character Wednesday, “feels twice the amount of emotions that everyday people feel, and she shows zero amount of it on her face.”
If you're ready to get ghoulish, watch the opening night this Friday at Chicago's Ford Center for the Performing Arts. New Yorkers will have to wait until April, but can get excited with this trailer. See for yourself just how well the actors fill their character’s coffins:
