I grew up on the old television show so reading the history of how the creator came up with the characters was incredible! The musical opened in previews at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Broadway on March 8, 2010, with an official opening on April 8, [53] after an out-of-town tryout in Chicago at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts from November 13, 2009, to January 10, 2010. If someone came up with an idea that fit in, he would work with it and make it his own through discussions not dismissing people off-hand. Some sources give a date of 1933, while Addams himself when asked in interview suggested "around 1937". The family is friendly and hospitable to visitors; in some cases, it is willing to donate large sums of money to causes (television series and films), despite the visitors' horror at the Addamses' peculiar lifestyle.

The film was commercially successful, making back almost seven times its production costs, and was followed by a sequel, Addams Family Values.

He later married Marilyn Matthews Miller (known as ‘Tee’) in a suitably spooky pet cemetery, before they both moved to Sagaponack, New York, in 1985, to an estate nicknamed ‘The Swamp’.

I found the story behind Thing and It, or Cousin It as fans of the show would know It, to be fascinating. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.

In yet another part of the house, Pugsley, having witnessed Wednesday and Lucas making out, worries that he’s lost his best friend to her new, disgustingly sunny disposition.

Oddly in this series, Wednesday maintained her macabre, brooding attitude from the Addams Family movies. The movie ends with a coda, taking place seven months later at Halloween; the family has since figured out that Gordon was actually Fester the whole time, and had actually gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle, where he was found and adopted by Abigail.
