Who Would Be YOUR Picks For Gomez and Morticia Replacements?

getty imagesAccording to several news sources, producers of The Addams Family are actively searching for replacements for Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, whose contracts expire in March, 2011.    Although (according to the NY Times) star actors were deliberately played down in the show’s advertising – emphasizing instead the famous Addams brand – which would make it easier for actors to “slide” into the lead roles, after the recent hit the box office took when Lane was out on vacation,  it would seem they are searching for recognizable names to fill the Gomez and Morticia costumes.

It is rumored that John Leguizamo and Minnie Driver, who  would have fit the bill quite nicely, both turned down  offers, with no specific reasons given.  So the search continues.

Who would YOU pick to replace Bebe and Nathan?  Let’s hear it from the fans!

    Frank Ferrante, the Grouch king, would be PERFECT as Gomez!

  2. Brandon O'Rourke says:

    Sorry, Frank is the GROUCHO king, not the Grouch king.

  3. Carolyn says:

    Tony winner Christian Hoff!

  4. Lynn Mizzy Jonas says:

    Cher and Kevin Kline

  5. Caroline says:

    Antonio Banderas

  6. armin memisevic says:

    cher or anjelica huston or miss jolie for morticia
    john vickery(orginal broadway scar) or john trovolta

  7. Rachel Jonas says:

    Catherine Zeta-Jones

  8. Sharon says:

    Definitely Christian Hoff as Gomez. Angelina Jolie would be a good Morticia.

  9. Lynn says:

    How about Hank Azaria for Gomez?

  10. EmmaLeigh says:

    Idina Menzel could probably handle Morticia, I think she’d be good.
    As for Gomez, Brian d’Arcy James could be funny. Antonio Banderas, too!

  11. Mary Cunard says:

    Christian Hoff…all the way!

  12. Donna says:

    Without a doubt, Christian Hoff and Angelina Jolie.

  13. Sheri says:

    At first I thought “Minnie Driver, how perfect”, but then I wondered if she can dance? How about Charlotte D’Amboise? We know SHE can dance! Then she and her hubby could be in the same show.

  14. armin memisevic says:

    how bout seth mcfarlin of the family guy he has got a great singing voice

  15. Caroline says:

    I know that Christina Ricci (Wednesday from the movies)is back on broadway…how much fun would it be to see her as Morticia?!

  16. sarah says:

    why can’t they renew there contracts

    • Sheri says:

      My first reaction to that question is “well, of course they CAN renew, but do they want to?” But then I think…”what do I know?” Maybe the salaries that AF was willing to shell out for the OBC won’t be offered for renewed contracts. I would imagine Nathan and Bebe would be ready to move on after March. It has to be hard knowing the critics have no respect for the show you’re in, even if the audiences love it.

      Good question, Sarah.

      • Rebecca says:

        I agree completely. It depends on what do they want to do. If they want to move on after March then all I can say is good job Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth performing in the Addams Family Musical and I give you my best wishes.

  17. Dain says:

    Danny DeVito, Rachel DeBenedit (sp?)

  18. Joey says:

    Why not just renew the contracts?

    I hope they do. Otherwise i think i skip it.

  19. W!ckedAddams says:

    I can imagine Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia and Rupert Everett as Gomez. Roger Rees is a good replacemant for mr. Lane after all. But What Will Happen with Bebe? When she’ll leave the show? I hope she never will. She’s so damn good.

  20. camkatpit says:

    Cher would do an awesome Morticia. Just look at her in the Zookeeper premiere. She looks like morticia, her face does not move, she is glamorous, and a superstar! Antonio Banderas and Cher together would be a complete success in Broadway. Can’t believe I had to see Brooke Shields as Morticia. Too perky for the role…Bebe was much better.
