The woman playing morticia is absolutely beautiful omg
Deano Beano samantha womack! she’s absolutely gorgeous, even more so with her natural hair
She was in EastEnders lol
Castealyogirl ikr
Castealyogirl Sam Womack from Eastenders
She is so pretty
APPRECIATE THE ONE BALLET DACING ANCESTOR WHO DID THE WHOLE THING IN POINTE SHOES
RESPECT
For 8 shows a week at that
no she actually did the most of the performance on her feet. Not just on pointe.
@@sophia.c7318 it's still hard dancing in pointe shoes though! would probably be easier to do the whole thing on pointe
georgia c how? It’ll be good to give ur feet a rest
@@sophia.c7318 yes but pointe shoes have a hard block on the end and its very easy to trip over and dance normally in them
Carrie has such a distinct voice, that when all the Addams are singing I can clearly hear her over everyone else. Love her!
LeadingLady I love her distinct voice (no one can deny how magnificent it is!) but at the same time one probably should learn how to sing ensemble so you’re not distinguished from the rest!
aino tbh I think her mic was just louder
@@vellamo1404 hell nah, if you can be the star, be the star.
@@Chicklo11 Just wrong man
Robert Smith that’s considered incredibly unprofessional in the musical theatre community. It’s very very frowned upon
'you need to have a sense of humor'
'ha ha ha'
I lost my shit
Oh no we need to help them find their shit
JAJAJAJAJA
wheres ur shit ???????
How unfortunate. Where do you think you left it?
Can we take a moment to appreciate the ensembles? They always get left out but they are like super good
Haley Mann that’s what I love about this incredible show is that the ensemble are an integral part of the show and there so many musical numbers show casing just how brilliant the ensemble vocal arrangements are. God I could go on about just how much I love this show and adore everything about it.
The woman who plays the geisha Is stunning, beautiful and such a great dancer
Wdym ensemble gets left out....? They make up the actual show. There would be no preformance without them.
@@mikaylawilliams1651 I think they mean a lot of people don’t talk about the ensemble enough and that they literally keep a show together but no one really talks about how hard they work.
Always appreciate the ensembles it's so important
Song: YOᑌ ᑎEEᗪ TO Gᖇᗩᗷ ᗩ ᗷOᗯ ᗩᑎᗪ ᗩᖇᖇOᗯ
Me: thats a crossbow
Pretty sure crossbows needs arrows..
I mean I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure you need to load the thing..
Generally, crossbow 'arrows' are called bolts or quarrels. They're a bit shorter, and possibly different in other ways
It’s still a bow with an arrow
Me too
Crossbows don't have arrows they have bolts and they are pretty different in many ways. Also the in the UK thay are definitely not called the same thing. They are 2 very different weapons.
COOL
Tessa Violet hi Tessa
Tessa Violet I
Tessa!!
Tessa Violet You know Rebecca Parham right?
You’re here!
Carrie has such a strong voice omg, soooooo wish I was going to this!!
LooMoo I got to see it, we loved it sooooo, much, she was amazing!
Lucy Alice and now she’s in heathers and she’s even more amazing!
Is she Veronica from heathers
@@crosieog1774 Yup
hey Wednesday looks familiar
OMG THATS VERONICA
bonnie belle OH MY GOD YEAH.
Was this before heathers
Yeah it’s Carrie hope fletcher she plays Veronica and Wednesday
OMG THAT'S ALSO EPONINE
in what production? not the official one is it?
666 uwu in the original west end cast, Carrie played Veronica. This was the UK Tour cast of Addams family if I’m not mistaken and she was also Eponine in the west end production of Les Mis.
This Gomez is amazing! Hes so playful and dark im in love.
Morticia is mad
Cameron Blakely. Super actor.
I think peps are also forgetting that they had to cut bits out to make it short enough for the tv appearance 😂
Only the Addams can look even remotely classy while doing the bunny hop.
I saw this in Edinburgh and it was such a good production. The entire cast was perfect. Out of all of the musicals I've ever seen it's by far the overall best cast. Carrie was perfect as Wednesday, morticia was perfect, Gomez was perfect, fester was perfect it was amazing
BagOfSticksFork, Gomez is way better than the American version too
I saw it in Edinburgh too!
Celestia of the Stars I mean Nathan Lane is a national treasure but he doesn’t really exude sexy or heterosexual
It's extremely hard to play Morticia (I know, I was the understudy for the role in our school musical a few months ago), but this woman NAILED it!!!! I've around twenty or more versions of this song on UA-cam, and she is one of the two Morticias I found who actually is good in the role
the level of chemistry between gomez and morticia in this video... insane
Carrie and Scott!!!!!! Hooray!!!
Abby in Wonderland I'm glad someone else got as excited me to see Scott 😂😂 I'm from Australia so I won't get a chance to see the show :(
So am i...Melbourne
Ella Bella I live near Brisbane
Ella Bella Same
Abby in Wonderland I
Okay, are we just going to ignore that apparently the Addams Family History includes a Matador and a Geisha apparently getting married? No? I'm the only one that wants to know their story? ...Okay. T_T
No yeah, I'm very curious...
Sounds like the start of a great romance novel,
Maybe they died during a costume party.
@@miles2378 the matador was actually killed by a tiger clawing his stomach
@@daisyfxx5618 The ringmaster died getting mauled by a pack of lions in front of the live audience. The Matador died from a bull hitting his left abdomen, which was not detailed.
I've actually never heard Scotty sing before... him and Carrie are just the absolute best!!
That last verse, with the family and all the ancestors? It literally made my chest feel tight, remembering being an ancestor this past April and how incredible of an experience that was.
I can always hear Carrie when she sings haha. I can't count how many times I've listened to this honestly
0:20 the people snapping at the wrong time are so funny lol
Last year I was an ancestor in this show, and BOY ITS A DIFFICULT SHOW TO BE IN
Mochi No zuka Wow that’s really cool! :D Do you mind me asking what ancestor you were?
omg me too! i was the soldier ancestor, and our choreo was much different from this. i miss that show.. (we had to stop production before performing because of the pandemic)
cat ! Aww I’m really sorry that you had to stop your show but I bet it was awesome!
i was doing oliver and i was a lead role and it got cancelled :(. i also did this show and it got cancelled :(. i was Lucas
@@declansumner1742 Oliver Ormson played with Carrie, Carrie Hope Fletcher bogged it and I never saw you?? Where you in a different version??
When people click at the wrong time I'm screaming AAAAGGGGHHHHHH
That is how I feel when the audience stomp and clap at the wrong time during a show of We Will Rock You
In this case most people probably remember the theme song but haven't heard it in a decade or two.
Seen Addams twice now and the whole cast is amazing!!! I particularly loved the Ringmaster Ancestor (2:53); throughout the show he had grace and just something eerie about him!!
Okay okay, but what about the guy behind the man introducing the musical who STRUGGLES with the snapping?
The music was faster than usual
CottonTheRabbit Okay, makes sense!
CottonTheRabbit I think the music was actually slower than usual
Can't help but think of Lemony Eggs 😂🍋🥚
Hannah Reynolds I knooow! I keep seeing the posters for this show and all I can think is "They're Lemon F***ing Eggs!"
Hannah Reynolds haha I was looking for this comment!
Hannah Reynolds THEYRE LEMONY FUCKING EGGS
So nobody gonna talk about Lurch’s dancing? come on guys. it’s incredible.
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BRING THIS UP!
Sad to see that many people judge the whole show and cast based on just this one video .. What makes a show a great show are all musical numbers and the actors telling a story, not just a great opening number. I'm also disappointed that many people don't like it, because they changed little things. I guess sometimes people aren't very open minded, when they learned to love something and don't want things change, but at the same time very production needs to be different and innovative, so the show stays interesting, I think. But then again that might just be my opinion
EllieBooks yes, I was disappointed to reading these, I've seen the show and it is amazing
I agree
I agree! I saw the show this week and didn't really think much to the opening number but the show overall is brilliant
EllieBooks I
EllieBooks A Turner it has been severely changed and switched around purely for this performance I've recently discovered and it's ruined this song and the flow of it from what it's actually like in this production. I think in the circumstances the actors did exceptionally well. If you want to see them in rehearsal of how they actually do it in the show here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/1mVsjJBHxkA/v-deo.html
Matador ancestor was really getting into the twist.
So glad they gave Wednesday back her iconic braids back in this version! I really like this cast lol
Ya when I first saw that she didn't have the braids I was a little disappointed (I still love the original broadway cast/costumes regardless) and I'm glad that in this version she was given her iconic braids back.
@@bee458 though u know initially they started it with clandango song and she was going through a rite of affirmation of adulthood where they also chop her braids off to signify she no longer a girl but a woman
what? there is a version of Wednesday without braids?
HAS THE PLANET GONE MAD?
@@NguyenDuong-xv9ttLITERALLY ITS THE UNSPOKEN RULE
The costumes are beautiful!! They perfectly capture their characters!! And the vocals are amazing!!
This was honestly one of the best musicals I've seen live.
Samantha was amazing!!! 😻😻😻
I worked with the man playing gomez in a production of oliver - he played fagin. honestly one of the nicest people!
She's the second most beautiful Morticia there ever is or was.
Who’s the first? My favorite is Carolyn Jones from the 60s tv show.
bebe nuiwirth 💜💜💜
We need the whole recording of the musical
We could, but sadly it's underrated and no one cares of recording one. There is one but only the sound, also the old cast is gone.
I can't wait to see Blkey and Samantha Wormack reprising their roles in this years tour of the show :)
I love how all the people in the beginning were struggling so much with the snapping lmao
Saw the musical tonight and absolutely loved it!! Carrie blew us all away with that voice!! Everything about it was fantastic!
Some of the audience couldn't even get the frickin snaps
Cast: 🎼When Your A An Addams~🎼
Me: *Aggressively snaps fingers*
Carrie is just I love her
Same
we just did the addams family as our school musical and it’s crazy how much more professional this is aha
Looks like Corrine Leigh
Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut 5XG omg it does
that's why I clicked on this video in the first place
Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut 5XG agreed
Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut 5XG she doesss
Not the audience completely not knowing how to click along to the Addams family theme 😂
Carrie hope fletcher who plays Wednesday is so talented!!!!
I love the Choreography! It's brilliant and so as the costumes. They really captured their characters
Bradley introduces Les Dennis and you hear people in the audience laugh because they think he's joking.
I think the guy who was dancing with the geisha looked a hell of a lot like Moriarty (Andrew Scott) from Sherlock
Ebony Mackey yesss I thought that when I saw the show earlier in the year
He's Jacob Fisher
Ebony Mackey I wish it was, brings a whole new meaning to, “Did you miss me!?”
Oh my God he does...
Same!!!!! I thought the exact same thing!!
My theatre is doing the Addams family next semester. I am auditioning for Morticia and Wednesday
I'm so glad I went I and saw this cast...The whole show was top notch. They all did a brilliant job.
Guys I did the teen version of this and it was one of my favorite musicals I’ve every done, in my opinion. It’s such a great musical and soundtrack, and it’s wonderful in my opinion 🌸
I saw this exact cast in Northampton and they were amazing. I was crying with laughter💙
Why is Pugsley so old? When I watched this show in Poland he was a little kid and he was really good as well!
Natalia A they have grown up
Ross Dickson Well, that I know :p I just always thought that in this play Pugsley is supposed to be younger than Wednesday and here I didn't get than impression.
He is a man playing a younger lad in it which i think adds to the comedy
Yeah
JRipley15 Thanks for the answer! I was just curious why they wouldn't cast a child and now it's totally understandable ;)
Charlie Brown used to be cast with adults as well ;)
When the audience cant snap in time 😂😂😂
I’m glad we’ve at least got the live/media recordings for some of the songs. A cast album would’ve been amazing but it’s definitely better than nothing:)
Pugsley reminds me of Harry Potters mean brother 😂
arleen123100
You mean his cousin.
you mean cousin?
Harry potter is like fave
You mean cousin
Cousin
The orchestrations for this are so cool and unique and the singing is fantastic of course just amazing!!
Favourite cover of this song!!! Never knew ‘the Addams family’ was a musically. I’ve been *MiSsInG oUt*
I love the outfits that there wearing
When you're an Addams, you need to be able to click in time.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS
Samantha Womack was/I still in EastEnders. So many good all rounders :)
Absolutely love this version... samantha Womack, Grant Macintyre and Carrie Fletcher are amazing casting as Morticia, Pugsley and Wednesday... and Cameron Blakely is perfect as Gomez...
Edit: Grant, Sam and Cameron are doing the 2021/22 🇬🇧 UK tour!!!
I will admit the hand choreography is amazingly captivating
I sorta miss some of the original choreography.. I like some of the changes but i really miss the hand movements on "family first, and family last, and family by and by" also they do their snaps different. But still very good!!
They aren't changes. It's a completely different productions. They are differences but not changes
Ian Smith it's the same production. They are using the same book and score. The original was the American version, so anything different could be called a change
The musical is notes and words on paper.
The production is the physical elements - the choreography, staging, set design, costume design etc. That is the definition of the word.
This is a completely different set of producers mounting a new production. When you apply for the performance rights as either a proffessional or amateur you are granted permission to mount a production based on the written materials. Licensing the use of a production is a different deal. In this case it would be illegal to use the original choreography, just as it would be for ameteurs to copy it.
The book, music and lyrics have been reworked in places, they constitute as changes. The choreography starts from a blank canvas, therefore there is nothing to be changed: they are 'differences' to the original Broadway choreography, not changes to it
No, production means the physical elements. The choreography, the set, the lighting etc.
The show is what is written on paper.
This is a completely different set of producers, investors and production company being licensed the script and score - it ends there, that all they have the legal rights to.
There are several changes to the score and lyrics, yes. The choreography however is just different. They have no right or claim to anything from the Broadway 'production' therefore on the first day of rehearsals it was a blank slate in terms of choreography and staging-meaning nothing has been changed from the New York production because it was never part of the deal. You can't change something you don't start with.
Look up the definition of production
I’ve watched this 10 times over and can’t fault it!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Just pour a potion
Flip the switch
And wait till’ things get HOT
Can we please have a moment of appreciation for the one ballerina ancestor who did THE ENTIRE DANCE in pointe shoes (for any non dancers heads up THEY ARE PAINFUL)
0:28 Welcome Back To London's West End Mr Gomaz Addams. X
I just saw this show for the 3rd time in Singapore and really enjoyed it. Believe it or not I enjoyed it better then the original new york Broadway cast with the exception of Wednesdays as both were equally outstanding.
SUCH a perfect Morticia
This is the cast I saw performing. Really enjoyed it.
CARRIE!!😍
i played Wednesday in my towns local theatre production, *it was so fun yall don't even know*
Wednesday's apathy is a mood.
My town put this musical on at the local theatre in 2019. I applied for their summer programme as an extra and will never forget the wonderful atmosphere of taking part in the show!! It was an outstanding production in my opinion and I wish I could relive it 20 times!! Still remember all the lyrics and dance moves I loved every minute! (I was an ancestor- a ghostly painter haha!!)
I wish I could’ve seen this play😢
Musical looks good. Samantha looking really good.
Morticia is so cute!!! 🤗 ❤️
No Addams family incarnations could ever compare to the original sitcom to me, but the woman playing Morticia looks so much like Carolyn Jones!
My community theatre preformed this musical, I saw it, and I’m.......I have no words, it was amazing.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY !!!!!!!
Saw this tonight at my high school, the kid playing fester actually shaved all of his head, what dedication.
I'm starting my audition for Addams family in my theatre company. I would LOVE to play Wednesday and the songs in this btw are so good.
Met Sam Womack after the show she is lovely and saw her in the girl on a train she is amazing
My school is doing this musical and I’m trying to convince my mom to take me to see it lol
Omg. Morticia looks like Corinne from Corinne Vs. Pin in the thumbnail
For everyone saying that the entrance of the ancestors is a real let down, it's amazing in the actual production, they have them coming out of a door under the stairs filled with smoke and bright lights and lots of them have a solo song and dance. This is definitely not the best number in the show but The Addams Family is one of my favourite productions and this cast is probably my favourite so far.
I don't know anything about the Addams Family and this is the first time i've heard anything from it... and WOW what an experience lol
OMG I MADE UP A DANCE FOR IT AND ITS KINDA BETTER
my dance teacher helped me!
I’m so used to hearing Samantha as Ronnie hearing her with this accent is so weird. *But I’m living for it.*
This cast was amazing! Im lost for words!
I can only Imagine the auditions being like:
Creator: can you do finger snaps?
Auditioning person: *finger snaps*
Creator: hired
Went to see this last night at the Kings Theatre in Glasgow it was absolutely amazing 😍♥️
I saw this show a few weeks back and I miss it so much! Such a fab cast!
3:07 wow the Addams sure are from everywhere
Cant wait to see this show in Cardiff on the 12th August i am a huge fan of the Addams Family i love it
I cannot stop watching this for context for the choreography for a songfic with this song LMAO
