The Addams Family is very enjoyable show that is very popular and includes several wonderful performances especially from the likes of Bebe Neuwirth who plays the role of Morticia. But unfortunately for the cast the respective show lacks heart. The book has been penned by both Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice whereas the music and lyrics have been given by Andrew Lippa. It is an adaptation of the Charles Addams cartoons and also the succeeding television series and the movies that were made.
