Overheard at Addams Family#1

Posted: 5/21/10 at 9:36am

Scene: A very large party of kids, age roughly 12-16, and several adult chaperones, slowly trickling out of a performance of Addams Family.

Kid (to adult male): Did you like it?

Adult male (thoughtfully): No... the comedy wasn't funny. (pause) And the music wasn't very interesting... or memorable. (pause) The show we saw last year was better.

Kid: Shrek?

Adult male: Mm-hmm...

My point... I hadn't expected to be called on the rug for that, honestly.

I just like to listen to what Mittelamerika has to say at the theatre, I suppose. It's always so much simpler than the banging away the rest of us do at the topic.

Oh, I get it. We're supposed to be laughing to the point of tears because someone has different taste in theatre.

Sure, if that's your reaction...

My, there are some folks this morning who definitely aren't happy it's Friday.

Amneris, I think his point is that the show sucks. Just because your daddy produced it doesn't make it good.

How bad was it?

It was so bad the chaperone of a large kids birthday party noticed!

What's the point of Amneris asking what the point was?

Overheard at Addams Family:
Kid (to adult male): Did you notice that person eavesdropping on us?

Adult male (thoughtfully): Yes... He seems to be very concerned what other people think of the show. (pause) I wonder why he cares? (pause) Do you think he might be one of the producers?

Kid: Producers of THIS show? The Addams Family?

Adult male: Mm-hmm...

Kid: No. They are the ones with huge smiles on their faces.

Adult male: Right. I just wish he'd stop eavesdropping on us. Plus I hate his shirt.

Cute. Too many folks have had a bad week.

I was interested to hear that these two liked Shrek but didn't like Addams, which are (to me) two equally poorly-wrought mediocrities (although poorly-wrought in different ways).

I'm sorry you're having a bad week Newwy. Maybe you should go see a show and unwind. I hear Addams Family is good-

why in the hell would you think my dad produced it? He lives in Florida and has nothing to do with theater. Just because I enjoyed it automatically makes me a shill? I just didn't think this had any sort of point in starting a thread. Wait! Let me guess, my mother must be Liza???

Oh don't drag poor Liza into this. She's has a hard enough life, already.

And you're clearly the love child of Barry and Fran Weissler and 75 percent responsible for that awful revival of Sweet Charity.

"I just like to listen to what Mittelamerika has to say at the theatre..."

Why Mittleamerika? Any theater-going patron with any senstivity
or a brain in their head would recognize The Addams Family for the worthless, disposable junk that it is.
