Musicals at Richter (MAR), celebrating its 39th season as the longest-running outdoor theater in Connecticut, kicks off the summer with “The Addams Family,” playing July 7 to July 22. Featuring a live band and a cast of talented local actors, performances take place outdoors under the stars at the Richter Arts Center, 100 Aunt Hack Road, in Danbury, adjacent to the Richter Park Public Golf Course, just off I-84, Exit 2.

Based on characters created by Charles Addams, “The Addams Family” explores the creepy, kooky, weird and wonderful household immortalized in cartoon, television and big screen. In this new musical comedy, Wednesday Addams has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet young man from—gasp—a respectable family. She confides in her father and now Gomez Addams must do the unthinkable—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Change is just around the corner for the entire family in this delightful tale, created by “Jersey Boys” authors Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music and lyrics provided by the award-winning Andrew Lippa.
