Reception [edit]
The Variety review of the Chicago tryout said "The show [is] overcrammed and underfocused...From a structural perspective, the storytelling is all rising activeness followed by rapid and not really convincing resolution... information technology's very funny, with special nods to Chamberlin, whose ultra-corny number 'The Moon and Me' is a comic highlight, too every bit to Hoffman and Lane."[66] The Chicago Sun-Times theater critic wrote a laudatory review,[67] but while the Chicago Tribune critic found the musical enjoyable, he felt "the prove is hijacked by the Addamses behaving weirdly (i.e. normally)" and that Morticia's "crunch of confidence about getting old" is "a very uneasy narrative twist" and perhaps too far out of graphic symbol.[68]
Reviews for the Broadway production were mixed merely more often than not negative (the median grade of 27 major reviews was "D+").[69] John Simon, writing in the Bloomberg News chosen it "A glitzy-gloomy musical in which the quick and the dead are as full of grapheme, specially the chorus of ancestors that exhibits wonderful esprit de corpse."[lxx] Still, Ben Brantley in The New York Times wrote that information technology is "A tepid goulash of vaudeville song-and-trip the light fantastic toe routines, Borscht Chugalug jokes, stingless sitcom zingers and homey romantic plotlines".[71] There was full general praise for the performers, especially Nathan Lane. An Associated Press reviewer stated: "Lane, complete with a deliciously phony Spanish emphasis, is the hardest working actor on Broadway. Any they are paying him – and I hope it is a lot – he's worth the toll. The actor possesses a theatrical gusto that makes the musical move whenever he is on stage."[69]
Despite many negative reviews by New York critics, it has consistently played to 100% capacity and grossed third just to Wicked and The Lion Male monarch each week since it opened in previews.[72] The New York Times reported that despite "the sort of scathing reviews that would bury most shows", the product had $851,000 in ticket sales on superlative of a $15 million advance sale the weekend following its opening, "huge figures for a new Broadway run". The Times attributed this success to a beloved brand-proper name title, nostalgia, star strength, and a top-notch marketing entrada past the producers.[3]
The post-tour return to Chicago was hailed equally "triumphant" (New City Chicago),[33] and moved Hedy Weiss of the Chicago Sun-Times to issue this directive: "Note to Broadway (and non for the first fourth dimension): If you desire to run across how to make a musical really snap into place — how to connect with an audience in that uncanny way that is so crucial for success, how to delineate characters and so that we cannot assistance but cheer for them, and how to turn every production number into a light-headed explosion of song and dance — pay a visit to the ideally intimate Mercury Theater Chicago."[31]
