The Addams Family

This wonderfully creepy musical comedy is going away - opening April 16, 2023!

THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a family-friendly musical, with great music and intelligent humor, full of satirical hyperbole. Since its premiere at the Karlín Musical Theatre, in the autumn of 2014, there have been nearly 120 performances of this outrageous entertainment until May 2017. In 2019, the musical is back in full force, but on April 16, 2023, it will step onto the boards of the Karlín Music Theatre for the last time.

The Addams Family characters were born in Charles Addams' mind back in 1938. For the next fifty years, until his death, Charles Addams drew bizarre characters in comic strips for The New Yorker magazine. The Addams family is the satirical antithesis of the typical American family, who revel in dark, even macabre humor, and fail to understand that the rest of the world does not understand them, and even considers them oddballs and often fears them.

The growing popularity of The New Yorker comic strip inspired other artists to use these quirky characters. In 1960, a live-action television series was created where, for the first time, the individual members of the family were given their names, which they retain to this day. The sixty-four episode series aired from 1964 to 1966. A cartoon series followed ten years later, airing from 1973 to 1975. Two feature-length films were made in 1991 and 1993, `interspersed' with another cartoon series in 1992.

A number of other cartoons and feature films followed until the producers took advantage of the worldwide popularity of the Addams Family characters to create a stage musical. The libretto was written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music composed and original lyrics by Andrew Lippa. After its initial run in Chicago, the musical officially opened at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Broadway on April 8, 2010, where it had a total of 35 previews and 722 performances through December 31, 2011. In September of that year, it simultaneously kicked off its U.S. tour with its first performance in New Orleans. It continues to tour America to this day!

Among the other performances: Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, Norrköping - Sweden, Sydney - Australia, Buenos Aires - Argentina, Lima - Peru, Tampere - Finland.

The original Broadway cast was truly stellar: Nathan Lane, best known as Max Bialystock from The Producers (we also performed this comedy) and Bebe Neuwirth, the original Velma Kelly from the musical Chicago (this musical was also seen by audiences at the Karlín Musical Theatre)
