Here's the story from the Associated Press:
NEW YORK (AP) - The Addams Family has found its merry macabre menagerie for Broadway.I was always a fan of the TV show, so it'll be interesting to see how this goes.
The show's producers say Nathan Lane will play Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth will be Morticia in the musical based on the popular ghoulish cartoons in The New Yorker.
The Addams Family will open April 8 at a theater to be announced. Previews begin March 4 after a pre-Broadway engagement in Chicago. Also in the cast are Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Fester, Jackie Hoffman as Grandma and Zachary James as Lurch.
The show features music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, while Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, who wrote Jersey Boys, will provide the book.

Sounds like fun! I loved the TV show too. Hopefully they won't include the horrible M.C. Hammer song from the movie!
Hope all is well, Chuck!
Ryan, I can't believe you dissed Hammer! I... just don't know what to think right now!
OK, just kidding. As long as they work the TV theme song in there somewhere, I'll be happy.
Yes, I dissed Hammer! Deal with it! and I think later this afternoon, I'll mess with Texas.
Ha! You're out of control!
Just promise me you won't tug on Superman's cape or spit into the wind...
