My favorite character Wednesday Friday Addams, Gomez and Morticia's daughter - who has the middle name of Friday. She is the youngest member (six years old) of the family, she is a strange yet sweet-natured little girl who pursues such hobbies as raising spiders and beheading dolls.I always wanted to buy the <a href="http://www.tvaddicts.tv/" rel="nofollow">DVD collection</a>.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149694334059892269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-83667306538434338192009-07-29T23:46:21.875-04:002009-07-29T23:46:21.875-04:00Thanks for the comment, Cath.

It reminded me a little of Moulin Rouge, kind of like an exaggerated, fantastical, dance hall atmosphere. The subject matter seems a little disturbing, too. I wonder how much of that unique style will show in in The Addams Family?Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-79916313078344735782009-05-13T14:34:00.000-04:002009-05-13T14:34:00.000-04:00Pam, I'm sure it will come our way - although most...Pam, I'm sure it will come our way - although most likely with a different cast. Young Frankenstein is starting its tour two years after I saw it on Broadway. So you can probably expect the same lag time for The Addams Family.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-39476360848790543312009-05-13T14:30:00.000-04:002009-05-13T14:30:00.000-04:00Thanks, Robert.

Yeah, I can see why, if you were the producers, you might think it would be a good fit. Shockheaded Peter certainly does have a ghoulish, macabre look, as opposed to the sitcom style of the Addams Family tv series and movies. And I guess that's what they're striving for.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-60651442530043537012009-05-13T11:53:00.000-04:002009-05-13T11:53:00.000-04:00I saw SP Off-Broadway and it was definitely a very...I saw SP Off-Broadway and it was definitely a very unique theatrical experience to put it mildly.Steve On Broadway (SOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04353077627991682499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-27504505508029103462009-05-12T17:27:00.000-04:002009-05-12T17:27:00.000-04:00Addams Family with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth s...Addams Family with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth sounds fabulous!

While it's style suggest avant-garde, it really was a commercial hit -- which I'm guessing attracted the producers of Addams Family.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542033838289613543noreply@blogger.com
