"The roles in this show lend themselves to the artistic creativity of the actors. Brian Michael Hoffman exudes the overjoyed and energetic Uncle Fester in his quest to find love for all.
Director Michael Rader insures that his talented cast takes every advantage of every possible comic line or move whether it be in song or dance. I really enjoyed his choice to substitute a few hilarious lines that brought the story right into 2016; even goofing on the current campaign trail. (Fester's "Is Donald Trump right for 2016? Who's to say?")
You won't hear well-known show tunes, but you will take pleasure in strong vocals that belt out bizarre and outlandish lyrics that will make you smile and guffaw out loud. In its own campy and over-the-top way, "The Addams Family" succeeds in delivering larger messages like the importance of family, honesty and acceptance with a coffin full of laughs along the way!" |
