To Grandma’s House We Go: Jackie Hoffman Shows Off Her Addams Family Dressing Room

Broadway.com is no stranger to The Addams Family star Jackie Hoffman’s dressing room, as it often functions as the filming location for Hoffman’s popular Addams Family video blog. Hoffman welcomed us into her space at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre for an even more in-depth look at what makes Grandma feel at home. “Tchotchkes keep me going,” she says of her room, which includes everything from photos of her own family to gifts from Broadway pals. Take a look!

It’s his Mad Men photo at his office…always with the pipe. It lasted perfectly until recently there was another fucking photo stuck to it and I had to [makes ripping noise]."

"This is the CD Jackie Hoffman Live at Joe’s Pub to remind me I have something outside of [The Addams Family]."
