More importantly, he’d like to thank the amazing cast and crew of The Addams Family for all their hard work, talent, patience and flexibility. He’d also like to thank the audiences that come to see the shows. Without you, we wouldn’t be here. But most importantly, he’d like to thank his mishpocha for putting up with his mishegas every moment of every day.
