Has anyone seen the national tour of Addams family? I know that lippa rewrote some of the music as well as the show, I'm going to see it next week and I want some reviews or what you people thought of it?

I thought the Broadway version was better. Songs were erased, some were added as replacement. I don't like it that the major conflict was changed but it's still a good production! Some of the songs have been switched around lyrics wise... don't know why though... I found that annoying. Nothing beats the OBC though!!!
I didn't see it.
But it got a good review in Houston from our major newspaper The Houston Chronicle.
Addams Family plies its musical charms
Another Houston review:
Addams Family is Sick, Sweet, Salacious, Sidesplitting Old-Fashioned Musical
I saw it in it's third stop after launching, Charlotte, NC. Loved it.

Does anyone know why Brian Justin Crum left the show?
(Curtis Holbrook replaced him)
I saw it in Atlanta a few weeks ago. I wasn't expecting much, because of the way it was trashed on Broadway (also that is why I didn't see it there). However, I enjoyed it much more than I expected.
Some songs really stood out/others should have been left out. The book was thin, but all in all it was fairly entertaining.
