On Thursday we went to New York to see The Addams Family on Broadway. Although we love Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, we were there to see my friend, Carolee Carmello. I was the "boss" when Carolee was a Resident Assistant at SUNY Albany and have been so happy to watch her success. We visited Carolee after the show and, as always, she was so gracious and happy to give us a backstage tour. This is quite a production with trap doors, puppetry, alligators under the bed - lots of stuff needed to be stored in the wings - a complex job for the stage manager to keep everything moving safely.
The show was thoroughly entertaining - lots of laughs and lots of fun. I think it will play for a long time. And of course Carolee was great - she undergoes a "personality change" at the end of the first act that is hilarious - ending up passed out on the dinner table!
So if you get a chance - go see the show!
