“The ecstatic reception the cast received at the end of the opening night performance of The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy (which incidentally opened on Broadway in 2010) shows how a really well written musical comedy can last for a long time. The performance was energetic, engaging and a showcase for some established and new Adelaide community theatre performers. 

Ben Todd’s Gomez led the company in an opening night showstopper that set the tone and energy for a very solid evening of entertainment. He stated in the programme that it was a character that was on his bucket list – well I hope there’s room in the bucket for a few more characters in Mr Todd’s repertoire; it was gold-standard work with some truly magical moments of comedy and song. You can’t get to play a role like that unless you have someone of equal stature to act as a foil for your work, and Salina Britz’ Morticia was a gem of musical theatre brilliance. Todd’s and Britz’ chemistry is the solid driver the show needs; they shine in their moments together and individually throughout the evening. Their duets and individual numbers are magical.”
