Cappies Critics Say BT’s “Addams Family” is “Dazzling”

"Beth Tfiloh beautifully incorporates the dark humor and hilarity of "The Addams Family" in their production. Every element perfectly merges to create a dazzling performance that will completely engulf you in the wonder that is this musical." 

"The moment Eitan M. ‘19 (Gomez Addams) strides onto the stage, you know you're in for a laugh. Aside from his smooth accent and captivating voice, Eitan is an exceptional actor, creating a character with great depth and expression."
 
"With a breathtaking range and commanding stage presence, Alana G. ‘18 (Wednesday Addams) draws attention to herself with dry humor and beautiful vocals. Alana astounds the audience with her first solo of the show in 'Pulled.'" 

"Lauren B. ‘18 (Morticia Addams) adds an extra flair with her regal poise and smooth voice."

"Breaking the 4th wall, Josh S. ‘19 (Fester Addams) causes the viewers to double over laughing every time he steps on stage."

"Orly K. ‘18 emanates sass and personality with every move and note. Debbie I. ‘18 executes every dance with the utmost precision and is the focal point of a beautiful lift in 'The Moon and Me.'"

"The make-up, designed by Ashley C. ‘18, Debbie I. ‘18, and Shira S. ‘20, makes all cast members look nearly, or already, dead with pale skin, darkened eyes, and defined facial structure."

"Miriam R. ‘18 (Alice Beineke) belts her way from a cute, little wife to a woman who knows what she wants and isn't going to stay seated and wait around for it. Miriam and her quirky personality aren't afraid to steal the show especially in her big song 'Waiting.'"

"Equally astounding is the show's technical crew, who develop a mesmerizing atmosphere through which the story can develop. Eliav H. 21's lighting design is exceptional, utilizing variations in color to develop different moods."

"The mood is further developed through the team's beautifully detailed set design by Josh S. ‘18, Michael M. ‘19, and Yael S. ‘19. The amount of work that must have gone into the eye-catching pieces is baffling. Together, the lights and the sets create a magnetic atmosphere that seems to draw you in."
