Theatre Trip: The Addams Family

THE ADDAMS FAMILY (UK TOUR)

Thursday 18th May, 7:30

New Wimbledon Theatre

Cast Changes: none

So great. So, the set design is really clever (2 half sets of stairs that move around lots), and the book is wickedly funny! Lots of topical jokes and great lines everywhere. I also looked that even in the chorus, each actor had their own 'character'.

Morticia (Samantha Womack) was fantastic, sassy and wicked and sexy. Uncle Fester (Les Dennis) was sweet, but I'm not really sure what his subplot really had to do with the rest of the show...

The Beineke's were great, Alice (Charlotte Page) was definitely the great vocally, and had the biggest role (almost bigger than Lucas). Lucas' (Oliver Ormson) accent was a bit on the nose, but he was eager and sweet and great.

Gomez (Cameron Blakely) was fantastic!!! His accent was perfect, his lines well delivered, and his acting was really spot on to accent the craziness of the Addams clan. Some of his jokes were really hilarious!

And Wednesday (Carrie Hope Fletcher!!!). She was perfect. Tough, sure of herself, crazy but totally sane at the same time. Her costumes were incredible, and her voice. Woah. Pulled brought tears to my eyes, she was so flawless. Seeing Carrie in this role was a bit strange, seeing how nice she is in real life. She's so different! Also, I brought her gift and went to stage door, but she went out another exit. I don't blame her, but I wish I could have thanked her for her amazing performance. Will see Carrie in anything, ever, any time, again.

And Lurch (Dickon Gough) really comes into his own at the end!
