THE ADDAMS FAMILY Headed for a West End Debut?

THE ADDAMS FAMILY may be inhabiting a new neighborhood by 2013.

The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye reports that the show, which is set to close December 31 on Broadway, is eyeing a West End debut as early as next year. If the production makes the transfer, it will likely play the Palace Theatre.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY currently plays the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (205 West 46th Street). THE ADDAMS FAMILY stars Brooke Shields as Morticia and Roger Rees as Gomez.

Also featured in the cast are Brad Oscar as Fester, Rachel Potter as Wednesday, Jackie Hoffman as Grandma, Zachary James as Lurch, Adam Riegler as Pugsley, Heidi Blickenstaff as Alice Beineke, Adam Grupper as Mal Beineke and Jesse Swenson as Lucas Beineke.

Based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, THE ADDAMS FAMILY features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. The production is directed and designed (sets and costumes) by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, with creative consultation by Jerry Zaks and choreography by Sergio Trujillo. Lighting design is by Natasha Katz, sound design is by ACME Sound Partners and puppetry is by Basil Twist.
