This show really interests me... I think that it has the potential to be really cool. There are a lot of awesome special effects that could be incorporated into the show that would totally make seeing it worthwhile. I would definitely have a interest in seeing it.

This is VERY exciting! I usually shun the idea of a movie based musical - but from what i've read about this show, the authors are trying to take into account every past representation of the Addams family. The product hopefully will be a fresh new take on an old story - guided by its original medium - comics.

Also exciting to me is the fact that the Directors are scenographers! I always feel that directors who study and create many of the visual and conceptual aspects of the show are so successful in creating an overarching vision - as opposed to a fragmented visual world, which sadly happens more so than not.

Minus the star appeal of Bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane (among others) this show's team is still awfully exciting!
