Like any art form, theatrical musicals can run the gamut in tone, style, tenor and execution. You can find everything from dark, serious brooding drama to light-as-a-feather, fluff-filled entertainments. Which is not to say that either side of the spectrum is better or worse than the other, there are highs and lows at both ends of the spectrum. When it comes to the lighter, fluffier fare, there are few as effervescent and entertaining as Cole Porter's Anything Goes, now receiving a top-notch production at Ocean State Theatre Company.

Ocean State Theatre Company (OSTC), opened their fourth season in their state-of-the-art theatre in Warwick. The company's 2015-16 season begins with the magnificently macabre musical comedy, The Addams Family. Check out a first look below!

There are certainly no perfect formulas for creating the perfect musical. Lately, it seems that many new shows are following one of two "tried and true" formulas for success, both of which can actually lead to pretty epic failure. One is trying to turn something like a movie, television show, cartoon or comic book into a musical. The second is trying to create a musical that has something for everyone, a show that tries to please every audience member with a little bit of everything. The Addams Family, which kicks off the new season at Ocean State Theatre Company, is an example of how both of those formulas sometimes fall very, very flat.

Ocean State Theatre Company (OSTC), is thrilled to announce the opening of their fourth season in their state-of-the-art theatre in Warwick. The company's 2015-16 season begins with the magnificently macabre musical comedy, The Addams Family, which opens tonight, September 30.
