Review: The Addams Family At Broadway Palm

If you're looking for a show that will make you laugh out loud, you won't want to miss The Addams Family at Broadway Palm.

Friday night was another big opening at Broadway Palm in Fort Myers with the debut of The Addams Family. I was invited to the show on Saturday and brought my parents out for a night of fun. We have attended almost every show they've done at the dinner theater over the last year, and I have to say, this one may be my new favorite. Broadway Palm is such a gem in Southwest Florida and we are truly lucky to have a theater here putting on amazing shows, not to mention a great dinner to enjoy beforehand, at a great price.

Whether you watched the old Addams Family tv show like my parents or have watched the more modern movies, this musical brings to life, on stage, everything we know and love about this creepy and kooky family. This show made me laugh out loud throughout the entire performance and the story was adorable. The premise is that Wednesday falls in love with a "normal" boy and The Addams host a dinner to meet him and his family. You can only imagine what they thought and what transpired over the course of the evening.

The songs were silly, the acting was great, and as I mentioned, the laughs were there all night long. At one point I looked around to see if anyone else was cracking up like I was and the answer was yes! Such a great, fun atmosphere in the room. My favorite characters were Uncle Fester and Grandma, but there were things I enjoyed about every one of them, including the ghosts. I highly recommend this musical to anyone wanting to have a good time, whether you go as a couple for date night, or bring the whole family. The show runs through May 25th.

Broadway Palm just announced the lineup for their 32nd season. Shows for 2024-2025 include:
