A Saucy New Burlesque Production from the Kiss & Tells Takes on The Addams Family

By Riverfront Times Staff on Mon, Nov 23, 2015 at 5:18 pm

From New Yorker cartoons to television shows to movies to one sweet MC Hammer song, The Addams Family is everywhere in pop culture -- making it only a matter of time before the clan got the burlesque treatment. The Kiss & Tells took everyone's favorite macabre mob to the stage at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room on Saturday, November 21, for The Addams Family, Too Ghoul for School. Photographer Steve Truesdell got some great shots.
