For those who’ve not experienced a musical in concert before, it’s not quite what you would expect from a traditional musical that you might catch on London’s West End.
It’s important to get expectations in place – we weren’t anticipating that this would be a hugely lavish production, and we were correct: the staging and choreography is quite limited and simple, the costumes are fine but unremarkable, the sets and props are limited.
The Addams Family is also doing a very short run (three shows!) which meant we caught the first performance – resulting a few missed microphone and lighting cues.
The end product was still perfectly entertaining, however. It’s an impressive cast – the headline name here, of course, is RuPaul’s Drag Race icon and star of 1990s girl group Seduction, Michelle Visage.
