About CHARLES ADDAMS
The musical The Addams Family is inspired by the creations of
the legendary American cartoonist Charles Addams, who lived
from 1912 until 1988. In 1933, when he was just 21, his work
was published in The New Yorker, and over the course of nearly
six decades, he became one of the magazine’s most cherished
contributors. Addams is most widely known for his characters
that came to be called The Addams Family, a group that evolved
into multiple television shows, motion pictures and now this
Broadway musical. The majority of his cartoons are occupied by
hundreds of other characters, but there is little doubt that those
that come to life on this stage are his most beloved creations.
Over 15 books of his drawings have been published around
the world, including the new collection, The Addams Family: An
Evilution. Addams’ works appear in a number of prestigious
permanent collections including The New York Public Library,
The Museum of the City of New York and The Library of
Congress. To learn more about one of America’s greatest
humorists, visit www.addamsfoundation.org.
