Pop culture artifacts never die. Hence, the continuing presence of The Addams Family, which started in the 1930s as a single panel cartoon in The New Yorker and became a sitcom that ran for two seasons, 1964-1966, on ABC. Wednesday, a spinoff Netflix series revolving around the daughter of creepy but harmless couple Gomez and Morticia, premiered in 2022.
In between, there was a movie about the family and their weird relatives and pets and a Broadway musical whose third tour is making a brief stop in Dallas this month, presented by the AT&T Performing Arts Center. Though not well-reviewed, the musical had a successful run in New York and has been produced all over the world.
June 26-28 at Winspear Opera House. Details, tickets at attpac.org.
