The Addams family Movie at the Historic rialto theater
A one-night special PREMIERE event
Thursday October 10, 2019 @ 7:00pm
The Rialto Theater
250 East Broad Street, Westfield, NJ
Get ready for an incredible evening to gear up for AddamsFest! The Town of Westfield will get a very special visit from one of its favorite families – The Addams Family – in a one-night screening of MGM's new animated comedy on Thursday, October 10, at the historic Rialto Theater.
Starring an all-star voice cast led by Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll, Bette Midler, Allison Janney, Elsie Fisher and Snoop Dogg playing IT, THE ADDAMS FAMILY will be released by United Artists Releasing nationwide on October 11.
As part of its AddamsFest celebration, the Town has partnered with MGM and The Rialto to bring this event to the Westfield community. Rialto owners Jesse and Doreen Sayegh, who were fully on board to host this screening prior to the unexpected closure of their property, remained committed to resolving all related issues in order to re-open their iconic theater for the evening -- a true showing of their dedication to Westfield!
During the timespan when the certainty of the Rialto’s availability for the screening was in question, the Town also received offers from other local venues to screen the film, including the Presbyterian Church, the James Ward Mansion, and the Board of Education. It was the generosity, creativity, and collaboration of this community – the very hallmarks of AddamsFest – that brought this to fruition.
