    Broadway's 'The Addams Family' to close on Dec. 31

    NEW YORK (AP) — Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Lurch and Fester will be gone from Broadway by the time the New Year rolls around.

    Producers for the musical "The Addams Family" said Wednesday it will end its run at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Dec. 31.

    When it closes, it will have had 725 performances and 34 previews. A national tour launches on Sept. 15 in New Orleans and is booked in more than 30 cities through 2012.

    The musical, based on characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, currently stars Roger Rees and Brooke Shields. When it opened in 2010, it starred Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth.

      We knew Brook Shields wasn't going to keep the show going.

        Definitely not a top notch actress - has gotten by on her looks and name for many years.

      Yeah so it ends in December. What's your point?

      I saw it recently. It was just average at best. Never really captured the flavor of the movies or show even. Just average. Had its moments but wasn't anything that special. It was probably better with Nathan Lane who I never got to see. But Shields was not bad. Like I said just an average show that had an average run as it should have. This show should have and could have been so much better than it was. Just a really not exciting script ruins it.

      Bebe Neuwirth would make a better Morticia than Brook Shields

        Ok But you do know that the show opened with Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia.....Then like all Broadway stars they take their bow and move on.
        Brook Shield got great reviews and was fun in the show as was Bebe. I was lucky enough to have seen them both. I'm not sure what your point is.

        I thought the point was pretty clear numrod Jack. Bebe is better than Brookie!

      this really spooks me, it never had a ghost of a chance, there's no business like Gomez business!

        That last one was a real stretch there, Cornball.

      It was a great show, saw it with Nathan Lane. It never really took off as well as it should, though a two-year run isn't terrible.
