We saw Addams Family at The Muny on Friday and oh my goodness, was it good. It’s our favorite show so far this season. We saw it at The Fox in 2012 and it was good but this production was even better. Rob McClure played Gomez and Jenny Power played Morticia. They have both starred in previous Muny shows, he as Lord Farquaad in Shrek last year and she as Mary Poppins, also last year. The set, acting, singing, everything was great. Oh, and need I even mention Uncle Fester and the moon? Bwahahaha…I’m sure I could explain it here and it wouldn’t sound as funny as if you actually see it. It just cracks me up!
Just a note regarding last weeks show; a lady seated in the row behind us was talking about it during intermission on Friday and she said that when the actress who played Bess sang, she couldn’t understand her. I guess Bill and I weren't the only ones!
The weather was beautiful. It was only 82 degrees and low humidity so we were finally able to enjoy a picnic in Forest Park; great food from St. Louis Bread Company (known to most of the country as Panera) and some wine. Yum!
Next week is Seussical which also features a returning actor. Stay tuned…
