THE ADDAMS FAMILY: Who's Directing this Thing?

Posting because I'm incredibly curious about this. Unfortunately, I have no answers.

As of December

"Director-designers Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter) are still with the production, according to the Times, with Zaks taking a creative consultant credit. Producer Stuart Oken told the publication that Zaks will be at the helm of the musical with Broadway newcomers McDermott and Crouch providing input."

"Meaningful"...

That's a euphemism for "Will someone please get those two idiots out of my rehearsal?"

I wouldn't expect to see any more announcements about this because why draw any more attention to it. As LJay and RaggBallad posted above, they've said all they need/want to say. Now the show will simply need to speak for itself -- exactly how much each person contributed to the finished product we may never know for certain.

One note, though: PiraguaGuy mentions the ABC listings in The New York Times. I went to look and other than Nathan and Bebe (who are above title), no one is credited -- no authors, no director, no choreographer -- so I don't read anything in particular into that except they were saving money on a cheaper ABC listing.

I read somewhere that Nathan Lane has been taking the reins lately.

Don't know what's going on.
