RIVERSIDE - The new musical "The Addams Family," based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, will be performed in Riverside one night only, Dec. 12, at the Fox Performing Arts Center."The Addams Family" began performances in March 2010 and became a Broadway hit. The Chicago Tribune described the production as a "classic, full-tilt, fast paced, old-fashioned musical comedy."
