Romantically inclined theater fare includes The Fantasticks, How I Fell in Love, La Cage Aux Folles, Mamma Mia!, My Big Gay Italian Wedding, The Phantom of the Opera, and Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark.
The musical version of The Addams Family (Lunt Fontanne Theatre, open run), based on the ghoulish Charles Addams characters, is surprisingly one of Broadway’s most romantic shows! Not only is the plot driven by the mismatched love affair between sardonically sadistic Wednesday Addams and her new beau from a respectable family, but parental units Gomez and Morticia Addams — played by the inimitable Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth — also face their own marital crisis and properly romantic resolution.
