This video with clips from Addams came up as a related video to her WMW and I have to say... the combination of her acting and the staging/direction is very "high school theater." So was Oliver's "surprised face" in the dinner scene clip when the woman drinks from the cup (I'm not really sure exactly what's going on because I'm not familiar with the show). I'm really surprised at the acting quality for the show honestly. Guess the spent the budget on the sets and travel costs. The woman who sings in the last clip was pretty good, she wasn't overdramatic and annoying.
And I've not been a fan of Carrie's costume since it was revealed but seeing it onstage in motion, it looks so bad! What was the costume designer thinking?? The corset doesn't even match the right black shade of the dress and the skirt is so poofy, it's so unflattering on her. It doesn't really seem to "go with" anyone else's costumes either, it's just really out of place.
What on earth is that accent she is doing? It sounds SO bad and out of place!
One would think that they actually put money into hair and costumes in this production but both her costume and the wigs in these clips looks so bad. The wigs are so obvious and look cheap. I seriously wonder why they didn't go with the wigs from the promo pictures. Those wigs looked soo good!
I went to see Addams in Bradford and it was actually pretty good, the weird angle in those clips is really off putting. The whole cast just seemed better (Though Oli was super wooden and weird). I didn't think it was particularly
funny though... more like trying too hard.
Also, Carries costume actually looks green and black even though it's supposed to be black on black... That velvet was a big fail. I don't think it's what Wednesday would wear when she was older at all...
Sidenote: The accents were ALL laughable except for Morticia, Samantha Womack was really good (although another huge costume fail).
