The audience loved it, and certainly we loved the first act. A new plot (one that actually made sense) had replaced much of the old, with The Addams Family now aware that they are strange, and attempting to be normal for one night (and failing miserably, of course). The first act was completely rewritten, with lame numbers cut, and an almost entirely new book. I purchased tickets early enough that even though the theatre was sold out, we had front row seats.įrom the first note it was clear that the entire show had been reworked. So, gluttons for punishment, we decided to see it on Broadway. So poor we couldn’t imagine how it made it to Broadway (admittedly we saw it when its star, Nathan Lane was out sick). When we saw The Addams Family in Chicago during its test run, the songs were good, but the show was pretty poor.

The food was themed after the four seasons: asparagus, shellfish, pheasant, snow eggs. Wines were provided by Southern Wine & Spirits, and consisted of a refreshing Elderflower champagne cocktail (made with Proseco, elderflower liqueur and a twist of lemon), a very good Chilean Chardonnay, a Sardinian Vermentino, Argentine Malbec and a Moscato d’Asti Proseco. I like the venue, because the group of about forty guests is divided into four or five long tables, which allows you to meet some other wine and food enthusiasts, but avoids the giant round table syndrome that bogs down a lot of social events. They always do a nice job at these events, which allow the chef to experiment outside of his normal menu. Martin and I (Linda has a cold) went to the periodic Vine & Dine event at the Everglades restaurant at the Rosen.
