I now think I know why the non equity tour cast for the Addams Family musical delivered such a great show. It's because when they sing they really immerse themselves into the song as the character, singing as though how their character would sing in that particular instant. The emotions and their commitment to their character was intensely focused, and that's what made their portrayal of the characters so apt and realistic. The other versions of the songs from the original cast seemed more like a display of vocal prowess, and thus lacks the character depth I guess. Or at least that's how I see it. For example, when Jennifer Fogarty sings Pulled it's exactly how you would imagine a teenage Wednesday falling in love would be like. The other characters were no less excellent.
