First, though, they want their two families to meet; both families are instructed to \u201cact normal\u201d so that they can all enjoy a simple dinner. Morticia is astounded at this request and points out that \u201cWhat is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indeed, as soon as the Addams\u2019 taciturn butler Lurch (Austin Palmer) escorts Lucas\u2019 parents Mal (Tom Bengston) and Alice (Regina Torres) into the home, tensions begin to mount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hilarity also ensues, and well-timed comedy, some of which has been tailored specifically to Jacksonville, is delivered by the talented cast. Of particular note are Shaun Rice, who was born to play Uncle Fester and Palmer as Lurch, who never strays from his character (right down to his creepy hands and slowly ambling gait). Lurch, definitely the show\u2019s scene stealer, also provides a surprise at the end that is noteworthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The production features some imaginative stage props, including a facade of the family\u2019s famous house that can be turned backward to become the inside of the house that is a \u201cmuseum.\u201d Set designers also came up with nifty props that the Addams family is known for, including a chain torture device, a chair that must be used carefully and a bed with a monster under it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Musical highlights include Wednesday\u2019s version of \u201cPulling\u201d as she admits that her love for Lucas is pulling her in a new direction; \u201cFull Disclosure,\u201d performed at the end of the first act by the entire cast while playing \u201cThe Game\u201d (a sort of ghoulish parlor game where all players must confess something); and Morticia, feeling left out by her family, consoling herself with the thought that death is waiting for her in \u201cJust Around the Corner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fans of Gomez and Morticia will enjoy the tango to \u201cLive Before We Die\u201d when the stunning couple takes to the dance floor and brings back old memories to themselves \u2014 and to the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Executive Chef DeJuan Roy has once again designed a menu to complement the season and the show. Patrons have a choice of Pumpkin Bisque or Autumn Greens for the first course and Pan-Seared Chicken Breast with mac \u2018n cheese-inspired risotto, Three Cheese Shrimp Tortellini, Braised Beef Short Ribs or Roasted Vegetable Pita for the main course. Save room for Southern Pecan Pie or a creative Tombstone Cake for dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Addams Family\u201d will be performed at Alhambra Theatre &amp; Dining through Nov. 12.
