The Addams Family Musical

So sayeth Playbill:

"The musical is penned by songwriter Andrew Lippa and Jersey Boys writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, the hot bookwriting team of the moment. Adding further spice to the project are Improbable Theater founders Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, the creators of the macabre Shockheaded Peter, who will direct and design."

Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth as Gomez and Morticia? Fine by me. Writers from Jersey Boys? Strange, but okay. Shockheaded Peter creators involved? Perfect.

Jen and I saw Julian Crouch play Ariel in The Tempest at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and he was brilliant. That Patrick Stewart fellow in the lead part has a future in this business, too.
