It's in fact an iteration of the character that I'm fairly sure would have the original chanting, "Kill it, kill it with fire."
Pretty much, yes. And I was so giddy with hope when the news of an Addams Family musical was first announced! But alas, no. And when it was here in Seattle last month, everyone kept asking me if I was going to go, if I was excited about it, and so on. I felt like such a killjoy (and not the MCR kind, dammit) for Holding Forth about the wretchedness of it.
Oh my God, Frank, you're completely right. I KNEW I knew that plot already, but the title kept slipping away.

I was actually disappointed not to see (there might be by now, there should be) the "Actually, Easter ... Eostre ... stuff yadda" arguments, but I still think they are poopy heads.
Wikipedia says the following:

Uh, that is not my bunny saying. Who are you, my grandmother? Mr. Bowdler?
Interesting conflation, tho.
Thanks, Jilli. Next time I'll ask before I buy tickets. Maybe it will at least be pretty? Our local theater was having a black friday sale, and it was the only musical I could get TCG to agree to. We're also going to see another silent film with the live Wulitzer like we did last year, and at least I know that will be fun.
