A close knit, loving family, with a few odd quirks - and a definite affinity for the bizarre and macabre - the Addams Family has appeared in a number of film and television adaptations since their debut, however The Addams Family - A New Musical Comedy is based on Addams' cartoons, rather than any of the characters as they were portrayed in film or on television.
