They're Creepy and They're Spooky

Characters from the Broadway musical The Addams Family, currently playing at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, will be recreated in a series of dolls by Madame Alexander. The doll editions of the titular family's matriarch, Morticia, as well as children Pugsley and Wednesday, will be available in June. The Addams family patriarch, Gomez, will be released in September.

Based on the iconic characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, The Addams Family features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. The production is directed and designed (sets and costumes) by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, with creative consultation by Jerry Zaks and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
The company currently features Nathan Lane (Gomez Addams), Bebe Neuwrith (Morticia Addams), Jackie Hoffman (Grandma), Carolee Carmello (Alice Beineke), Terrence Mann (Mal Beineke), Kevin Chamberlin, (Fester), Krysta Rodriguez (Wednesday Addams), Swenson (Lucas Beineke), Wesley Taylor (Lurch), and Adam Riegler (Pugsley Addams).
