predict it's fate. "The new musical known as “The Addams Family”—long expected to have its pre-Broadway tryout in Chicago—announced firm dates Wednesday. The world-premiere engagement of the show, which features a book by the “Jersey Boys” team of Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice plus music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, will begin performances Nov. 13, 2009, and likely play through Jan. 10, 2010, at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago (currently the home of “Wicked”). The official Chicago opening for “The Addams Family” will be in early December 2009... The show is expected on Broadway in spring 2010, at a theater yet to be announced. " |

Thrive - Nathan Lane is pure gold. This will thrive in NYC if Lane remains with the show.
agreed about Nathan Lane, but given the economy, and the zillion other remakes they're doing, meh, fail.
wait. you both think that nathan lane is "pure gold?" really?
he is to the live theatre what tom cruise was to the box office in the '80's in terms of star power. His name alone will draw in the crowds...even in a weaker economy.
you recycled this torf. rejected.
