The Addams Family at Wang Theatre

The Addams Family has proven time and time again that they have America's heart! They are one of the few "franchises" that have had success in every single media format. These characters have been used in books, TV series, cartoons, movies, and, of course, theater. The show that's coming to the Wang Theater in Boston has its roots in the late 2000s and early 2010s. That's when this musical had successful runs in both Chicago and Broadway. There's a bit of a secret sauce to The Addams Family, though, and that tiny secret may just be the key to why people love them so much. Although the characters have been used to tell a ton of stories, they're never "overused." That can seem like a contradiction, but The Addams Family musical explains the phenomenon really well.

The show had a great run on Broadway for 35 previews and 722 performances between 2010 and 2011. Along the way, it picked up two Tony Award nominations. Instead of staying on Broadway, it was seemingly canceled out of the blue. Since then, there have been a few revival attempts and some tours of the UK and the US. All in all, though, there's a good chance that when you head to the Wang Theater in Boston on Friday, March 21st, you'll be doing so to see this musical for the first time! First times are not all that common anymore, particularly in theater, and that makes this Addams Family musical all the more special.
