The Addams Family opened on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre April 8, 2010. The production, directed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch with choreography by Sergio Trujillo, played 34 previews and 722 performances before closing on December 31, 2011, earning two Tony nominations including Best Original Score.

In an original story using Charles Addams’ beloved cartoon characters, the musical tells the events that ensue when outsiders come to dinner with the Addams, hurling Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandmama and Lurch headlong into a night that will change the family forever. The production featured music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice.
