"It may not have garnered much critical acclaim on Broadway when it premiered in 2010 but The Addams Family has proven to be a hit musical in regional theaters...The stage musical is very funny with a huge amount of charm. With a superb cast, impressive direction, and rich creative aspects, it's receiving an incredibly solid production from Scottsdale Community Players...Under Meribeth Reeves' solid direction, the entire cast shines. Matthew Harris and Alice Liners-Johnson are wonderful as Gomez and Morticia, respectively. They both have impeccable comic timing that ensures every one of their humorous lines gets big laughs, and they have rich singing voices that excel on their numerous songs. Harris does a lovely job depicting the father who realizes his daughter has grown up and Liners-Johnson is wonderful as the jealous wife who starts to realize she's not as young as she used to be...a fast-paced musical with a never-ending string of jokes. Scottsdale Community Players production has sharp direction, lovely creative elements, and a wonderful cast who beautifully depict these lovable, gothic and ghoulish characters while also managing to elicit non-stop laughs and a lot of charm." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
