Hysterical and spooky
A stage smash hit most flukey
At the Mercury they’re kooky
Stearns‘ Addams Family
Lippa‘s comic score
To a comic strip of yore
Leaves ’em rolling on the floor
At this Addams Family
With characters well known
And an eerie kind of tone
It’s so fun to be thrown
Into The Addams Family
Who’s your daddy? Karl
At his Gomez patrons howl
When intentions run afoul
At The Addams Family
When Wednesday wants to bring
Her boyfriend’s family (and a ring)
What will they think of Thing
At The Addams Family
To continue this whole string…
My God, can Cameron sing
Dance and act and everything
In this Addams Family
Of course there’s Uncle Fester
With Harter as this jester
And a pyrotechnic tester
At Stearns’ Addams Family
Then there’s the boyfriend’s mom
Played by Cory all so calm
Until she becomes the bomb
In this Addams Family
And the great family ancestors
Please the Mercury’s investors
As they sing and dance and pester
This Addams Family
So go open up the purse
Buy some tickets to disperse
Then come back and add a verse
About this Addams Family

You are a genius, Barry! That review deserves a glowing review. I read the whole thing with a big smile on face. OH, and I’ll for sure go see the show!
