Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY at San Diego Musical Theatre
They’re creepy, they’re kooky, they’re even a little bit spooky - it's THE ADDAMS FAMILY and they’re at San Diego Musical Theatre through October 29th. This musical inspired by the popular comic strip, television show, and movies is filled with music, and dancing and is a perfect seasonal treat - a little silly, a little spicy, and a little scary.
