Tony Award winners Bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane lead the cast of the new musical The Addams Family which currently plays a pre-Broadway engagement in Chicago.

Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch direct and design the musical by Andrew Lippa (music and lyrics) with Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice (book). Choreography is by Sergio Trujillo.

Also featured in the cast are Terrence Mann, Carolee Carmello, Kevin Chamberlin, Jackie Hoffman, Zachary James, Adam Riegler, Wesley Taylor and Krysta Rodriguez.

"In this original story, the famously macabre Addams Family is put to the test when outsiders come to dinner, hurling Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Fester, Grandmama and Lurch headlong into a night that will change the family forever," as show notes read.

Here is a first look at the pre-Broadway show:
