The Addams Family Reviews
Ruth Olivia Chaplin from London, England
ADDAMS FAMILY
A definite hit . The sets are very good and the music befits the West End stage, where I believe this is eventually headed. The singing was excellent and , unlike many musicals, every word could be heard. the show certainly has its laugh out loud moments. I will criticise only two things within the script: one relating to rich Jewish people in Florida and another relating and the other regarding Jehovah Witnesses. Both unnecessary in my opinion and I am surprised they have not been removed. However, it did not put me off enjoying what is, in essence, an excellent couple of hours. Every seat in the Churchill Theatre Bromley offers a good view of the stage: although the very top of a couple of sets are obscured by the huge "A" used at different points. The seats are spacious and comfortable and there is plenty of room between rows. If you opt for the Circle , no one obscures your view.

I took my 7 year old daughter. We absolutely loved it the singing and dancing was magnificent.it kept us entertained the whole way through. We both thought that it was a spectacular performance. Really talented performers amazing stage and costume loved every minute.

A GOOD PILOT
Cost of ticket £45. Front stalls. The casting of the actors were spot on, costumes just right. Lyrics and music, clearly spoken and fun. Obviously if it goes further the atmosphere using the set would be sorted, as a little minimal at the moment. Wednesdays songs went on a too long. I think it would make a fantastic pantomime with more innuendos, and funny slip-ups! It’s not aimed at young children at the moment. It could have lighter scenes. Morticia could glide in perhaps? It needs to be a little more fun to watch. I would watch again, after some tweaks.

UNFORTUNATELY VERY POOR
Storyline was ridiculous, singing a song about how much u love the moon…or how u waited in bed in the dark for some attention of ur partner! My daughter actually asked me do I wait in a dark room!! Unnecessary swearing especially when offering child tickets. We left before the show finished, 1 cus we would of missed out train if stayed till the end because the show started 10 minutes late and the interval was a long wait. A small group was chanting between themselves to restart show, 2 the show wasn’t up to expectations.

DIDN'T ENJOY ATALL
Really didn't enjoy this show atall. The cringy American accents were annoying and it is the first musical we have ever been to where we left in the interval.

A POOR EXCUSE FOR A MUSICAL
This was the worst musical we have ever seen. So bad in fact that we left at the interval and have never done this before! Our seats were expensive and we were very disappointed.
Paul from London, England
AWFUL
This is most definitely a miss. If I could have given it 0 stars I would have. Nothing wrong with the cast but its the script/story line and the scenery. Script was humourless, audience laughter limited, many people didn't clap at the end of 'songs.' Scenery was left to the audiences imagination. Very poor for a production of this size. I could go on. Save your money, don't waste an evening of your life that you'll never get back.
