They're creepy and they're kooky, and as they took to the stage at the Empire Theatre last night, the audience knew they were in for a frightfully good time.
The harpsichord struck up the first few notes of the famous tune, Thing appeared in a tiny spotlight and the packed out theatre echoed with the sound of the Addams Family 'click, clicks'.
This is the second UK tour for the The Addams Family show, which started life on Broadway in 2010, and like most live shows had its run cut short by the arrival of covid in 2020.
