May 31 marks the birthday of performer Brooke Shields. Most well-known theatrically for her performances in the Broadway revivals of Wonderful Town, Chicago and Grease, Shields last appeared on Broadway as Morticia Addams in the musical The Addams Family, succeeding original star Bebe Neuwirth.

The Addams Family opened on Broadway April 8, 2010. Featuring a score by Andrew Lippa and a cast led by Tony Award winners Nathan Lane and Neuwirth, the show ran at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre for 722 performances and earned two Tony nominations.
