Overview of the Contract

------

**What is this Contract, and what is it designed to do?** The MassMutual Capital Vantage Variable Annuity is designed to enable you to accumulate assets through investments in one or more of the variable investment divisions (Sub-Accounts) of the Massachusetts Mutual Variable Annuity Separate Account 4 (Separate Account). The Contract can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income during the Annuity Phase. Before you begin receiving Annuity Payments, the Contract also provides a death benefit for your designated beneficiaries. The Contract may be appropriate if you have a long term investment horizon. It is not intended for people who need to take early or frequent withdrawals or who intend to engage in frequent trading among the Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account.

------

**How do I accumulate assets in the Contract and receive income from the Contract?** The Contract has two phases:<br>1) the Accumulation Phase and 2) the Annuity Phase.

The Contract offers numerous underlying funds. A list of the investment options available under the Contract is provided at the back of this Summary Prospectus. See "Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract."

**Accumulation Phase**

During the Accumulation Phase, subject to certain restrictions, you may apply Purchase Payments to the Contract and allocate the Purchase Payments among the Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account, each of which invests in a mutual fund (Fund), with each Fund having its own investment strategy, investment adviser, expense ratio and returns.

**Annuity Phase**

During the Annuity Phase, you may receive Annuity Payments under the Contract by applying your Contract Value to a payment option.

○ Depending
 on the payment option you select, payments may continue for the life of one or two Annuitants or for a specified
 period between 10 and 30 years. The payments will remain the same throughout the Annuity Phase, unless you
 elect either of the Joint and 2/3 Survivor Annuity Options, which reduce payments on the death of the first Annuitant.

○ You
 may elect to apply part of your Contract Value to an Annuity Option, so that you are participating in both the Accumulation
 Phase and the Annuity Phase simultaneously.

When you elect to receive Annuity Payments, the Contract Value is applied to an Annuity Option and you may no longer be able to withdraw money at will from that portion of the Contract. If you apply your full Contract Value to an Annuity Option, the Accumulation Phase will end.

You may elect to apply part of the Contract Value from your Non-Qualified Contract to an Annuity Option instead of your full Contract Value. If you elect to apply a portion of your Contract Value to an Annuity Option, the amount applied will be treated as a withdrawal for purposes of calculating the Return of Purchase Payment Death Benefit. If you choose to apply part of your Contract Value to an Annuity Option, it may have adverse tax consequences.

------

**What are the share classes?** When you purchase the Contract you must choose between two different share classes. The Contract offers a B-Share class and a C-Share class. The two share classes differ with respect to whether a CDSC is applicable and mortality and expense risk charges. Since the share class selected will determine the CDSC, if any, and mortality and expense risk charge associated with your Contract, you should familiarize yourself with both share class options before you decide to purchase the Contract. Once you have selected a share class and we issue the Contract, you cannot later select a different share class.

The B-Share class provides a five year CDSC schedule and a lower mortality and expense risk charge for the first five Contract Years than the C-Share class.

The C-Share class does not have a CDSC schedule, but it does have a higher mortality and expense risk charge than the B-Share class for the first five Contract Years.

After the fifth Contract Year, the mortality and expense risk charge for the C-Share class will be reduced. However, your share class will not change. Purchase Payments received after the fifth Contract Year for a B-Share class Contract will still have a five year CDSC schedule. The C-Share class will continue to not have a CDSC schedule.

Since the B-Share class has a CDSC period while the C-Share class has none, it may result in a higher cost to access your Contract Value. The lack of a CDSC for the C-Share class may result in a lower cost to access your Contract Value than the B-Share class, but the C-Share class has a higher mortality and expense risk charge for the first five Contract Years. The B-Share class may be more appropriate for someone with a longer investment time horizon, who does not intend to withdraw Contract Value in excess of the free withdrawal amount during the CDSC period, and who seeks a lower cost Contract. The C-Share class may be more appropriate for someone who may want to withdraw some or all of the Contract Value any time after making a Purchase Payment and is willing to pay a higher mortality and expense risk charge for the first five Contract Years.

When considering which share class to elect, it is important that you consider the appropriate balance between the cost of accessing your Contract Value and the impact of the mortality and expense risk charge on your Contract Value. Please note that the B-Share class provides a free withdrawal amount which allows the Owner to take a certain withdrawal amount each Contract Year without incurring a CDSC. See "Charges and Deductions – Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)." You should consider discussing the benefits and costs of the different share classes with your registered representative.

Certain broker-dealers may not make both share classes available to you.

**What are the primary features and options that the MassMutual Capital Vantage Variable Annuity offers?**

• **Contract classes.** This
 prospectus refers to the following share classes: B-share class and C-share class. Each share class is subject
 to different charges. The share class that you select will be identified in your Contract. Not every share class or additional
 feature may be available to you. For certain distribution channels, this product is no longer available in the tax-qualified
 market.

• **Accessing your money.** During
 the Accumulation Phase, you may make a partial or full withdrawal of your Contract Value by
 submitting a partial withdrawal form or full withdrawal form acceptable to us in Good Order to our Service Center. You may
 also submit the requests by other means that we authorize, such as email, telephone or fax. Contact our Service Center for
 details.

All withdrawals are subject to the limitations described in the prospectus. Withdrawal rights during the Annuity Phase will depend on the Annuity Option selected.

• **Tax treatment.** You
 may transfer Contract Value among Sub-Accounts without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your
 investments are generally tax-deferred. You are generally taxed only when (1) you make a partial or full withdrawal; <br> (2)
 you receive an Annuity Payment under the Contract; or (3) upon payment of the death benefit.

• **Death Benefit.** A Beneficiary
 will receive a death benefit in the event of your death prior to the Annuity Phase. You must select
 the Contract Value Death Benefit or, for an additional cost, the ROP Death Benefit  at the time you apply for the Contract.
 The number of Sub-Accounts available to you will be restricted if you elect the ROP  Death Benefit. The ROP
  Death Benefit is not available for selection if the oldest Owner (or Annuitant, if the Owner is a non-natural person) is over
 the Age of 75 (maximum Age for Contract Value Death Benefit is 85). The ROP Death Benefit is the greater of (1) the Contract
 Value, as determined as of the Close of Business on the Business Day on which we receive both due proof of death and
 an election of the payment method in Good Order at our Service Center, or (2) the total Purchase Payments reduced by an
 adjustment for any withdrawals.

Once you select a death benefit feature and we issue the Contract, you cannot later select another death benefit feature.

• Once
 the Annuity Phase commences, payments upon death may be available to Beneficiaries depending upon the Annuity Option
 elected .

• **Additional Benefits and Services.** We make certain additional services available under the Contract at no additional charge:

The Separate Account Dollar Cost Averaging Program allows you to transfer a set amount from a Sub-Account to any other Sub-Account on a regular schedule. The Automatic Rebalancing Program automatically rebalances your Contract Value among your selected Sub-Accounts in order to restore your allocation to the original level. You may participate only in one Program at a time.

The Systematic Withdrawal Program allows you to set up automatic periodic withdrawals from your Contract Value. We will take any withdrawal under this Program proportionally from your Contract Value in your selected investment options.

The Terminal Illness Withdrawal Benefit allows you to withdraw all or a portion of your Contract Value without incurring a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) if we receive a Written Request in Good Order that certain conditions are met.

The Nursing Home and Hospital Withdrawal Benefit allows you to withdraw all or a portion of your Contract Value without incurring a CDSC if we receive a Written Request in Good Order that you (or the Annuitant, if the Owner of the Contract is not a natural person) have been admitted to a licensed nursing care facility or an accredited hospital and certain other conditions are satisfied. See the prospectus for a full explanation of the required conditions.

The Terminal Illness Withdrawal Benefit and the Nursing Home and Hospital Withdrawal Benefit are not available in all states and are applicable only if you elect the B-Share class.

However, we reserve the right to charge $20 per transfer in excess of 12 in a single calendar year.<br> •  We reserve the right to remove or substitute Funds as investment options that are available under the Contract.<br> •  We reserve the right to limit transfers if frequent or large transfers occur.<br> •  If you have selected the ROP Death Benefit, there are allocation restrictions. | &nbsp;&nbsp; General Information about Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Separate Account and the Investment Options – The Funds<br>Transfers and Transfer Programs – Limits on Frequent Trading and Market Timing Activity<br>Death Benefit – ROP Death Benefit – ROP Death Benefit Allocation Restrictions |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Are There Any Restrictions** **on Contract Benefits?** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Yes.**<br> •  The Return of Purchase Payment Death Benefit (ROP Death Benefit) is not available for selection if the oldest Owner (or Annuitant, if the Owner is a non-natural person) is over the Age of 75.<br> •  If you select the ROP Death Benefit, you will be subject to allocation restrictions. This means you will be limited in your choice of Sub-Account investments. This also means you will not be able to allocate Contract Value to all of the Sub-Accounts that are available to Owners who have not elected the ROP Death Benefit. We impose allocation restrictions to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our General Account assets to honor the guarantee under the ROP Death Benefit.<br> •  If you select the ROP Death Benefit, you cannot later select another death benefit feature.<br> •  If you elect the ROP Death Benefit we will deduct an additional charge from each Sub-Account in which you are invested to compensate us for the costs associated with this Death Benefit.<br> •  Withdrawals will negatively impact the ROP Death Benefit. | &nbsp;&nbsp; Death Benefit – ROP Death Benefit |

|  | **CONFLICTS OF INTEREST** | **LOCATION IN** **PROSPECTUS** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **How are Investment** **Professionals** **Compensated?** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  Your registered representative may receive compensation, in the form of commissions, for selling this Contract to you. If your registered representative is also a MassMutual insurance agent, they are also eligible for certain cash and non-cash benefits from MassMutual. Cash compensation includes bonuses and allowances based on factors such as sales, productivity and persistency (contract retention). Non-cash compensation includes various recognition items such as prizes and awards as well as attendance at, and payment of the costs associated with attendance at, conferences, seminars and recognition trips, and also includes contributions to certain individual plans such as pension and medical plans. Sales of the Contract may help these registered representatives and their supervisors qualify for such benefits.<br> •  This conflict of interest may influence your registered representative to offer or recommend this Contract over another investment. | &nbsp;&nbsp; Distribution |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Should I Exchange my** **Contract?** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  In general you should be aware that some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. Thus, in general, you should only exchange your annuity contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate your existing contract, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new annuity rather than continue to own the existing annuity. | &nbsp;&nbsp; N/A |

Benefits Available Under the Contract

The following table summarizes information about the benefits available under the Contract.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Benefit** | **Purpose** | **Benefit is** **Standard or** **Optional** | **Fee** | **Restrictions/Limitations** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Contract Value Death** **Benefit** | Upon your death, we will pay your designated beneficiaries the Contract Value determined on the Business Day we receive both due proof of death and an election of the payment method in Good Order at our Service Center. | Standard |  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  This benefit terminates upon a full withdrawal of the Contract or full annuitization of the Contract Value. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Return of Purchase** **Payment Death Benefit** **(ROP Death Benefit)** | If you elect the ROP Death Benefit, upon your death, we will pay your designated beneficiaries the greater of (1) the Contract Value determined on the Business Day we receive both due proof of death and an election of the payment method in Good Order at our Service Center; or (2) an amount based on your Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals. | Optional | **Current Fee:** 0.35%, deducted daily as a percentage of the daily value of the assets invested in each Sub-Account<br> **Maximum Fee:** 0.35%, deducted daily as a percentage of the daily value of the assets invested in each Sub-Account | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  This benefit terminates upon a full withdrawal of the Contract or full annuitization of the Contract Value.<br> •  The ROP Death Benefit is only available when the Contract is issued.

This means you will be limited in your choice of Sub-Account investments.<br> •  Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit amount in direct proportion to the Contract Value reduction. Since withdrawals result in a pro-rata adjustment to the death benefit amount, the death benefit amount may be reduced by more than the actual dollar amount of the withdrawals. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Automatic Rebalancing** **Program** | Automatically rebalances the Sub-Accounts you select to maintain your original percentage allocation of Contract Value. | Optional |  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  Cannot use if the Separate Account Dollar Cost Averaging Program is in effect. |

The date when we credit your initial Purchase Payment to your Contract is the Issue Date. We will send you a copy of your Contract and a statement confirming your investment(s).

------

**How much can I contribute and how are my contributions invested?**

Your Purchase Payment will be invested in the investment options that you select.

------

**When will any Purchase Payment that I make be credited to my account?**

• **Initial Purchase Payment:** Your registered representative must determine that the Contract is suitable for you and forward your
 Purchase Payment and information to us. If your information and Purchase Payment are complete when we receive it at our
 Service Center, or once it becomes complete, we will credit your Purchase Payment to your Contract within two Business
 Days. If your information is not complete, we may delay issuing your Contract and crediting your Purchase Payment
 while we obtain the missing information. If we do not have the necessary information to issue your Contract within five
 Business Days, we will either return your Purchase Payment or ask your permission to retain your Purchase Payment until
 we receive all necessary information.

• **Additional Purchase Payments:** Any additional Purchase Payment that we receive at one of our Purchase Payment processing
 service centers on a Business Day before the Close of Business will be credited to your Contract on the same Business

Surrendering Your Contract or Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract

------

**Can I access the money in my Contract during the Accumulation Phase?** You can access the money in your Contract by making a withdrawal, which will reduce the value of your Contract and the amount of the death benefit payable to your designated beneficiaries. You may withdraw all or a portion of your Contract Value (minus applicable charges). Unless you have applied a portion of your Contract Value to an Annuity Option, withdrawing the full amount of your Contract Value will terminate your Contract.

------

**Can I access the money in my Contract during the Annuity Phase?** You will receive Annuity Payments under the Annuity Option that you select. You generally may not take any other withdrawals.

------

**Are there any limitations associated with taking money out of my Contract during the Accumulation Phase?** Yes, the limitations are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Limitations on withdrawal amounts** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  The minimum withdrawal amount is the lesser of $100 or your entire Contract Value in a Sub-Account, if less. We reserve the right to increase the minimum withdrawal amount to $500.<br> •  At least $2,000 in Contract Value must remain following a partial withdrawal, except for certain withdrawals taken under a Systematic Withdrawal Program. See the prospectus for additional details. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **CDSCs and taxes** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  We may impose a CDSC and there may be tax implications when you take a withdrawal. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Negative impact of withdrawal on other benefits and** **guarantees of your Contract** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  A partial withdrawal will reduce the amount of the death benefit payable to your designated beneficiaries during the Accumulation Phase. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Internal Revenue Code or Retirement Plan Restrictions** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •  Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code or your retirement plan may restrict your ability to take withdrawals. |

---

------

**What is the process to request a withdrawal of money from my Contract?** You may make a Written Request by submitting a partial withdrawal or full withdrawal form to our Service Center. If your withdrawal involves an exchange or transfer of assets to another financial institution, we also require a letter of acceptance from the financial institution. You also may request a withdrawal by other means that we authorize, such as email, telephone, or fax. Contact our Service Center for details.

A withdrawal is effective on the Business Day we receive in Good Order at our Service Center; 1) a partial withdrawal form or full withdrawal form acceptable to us; and 2) a letter of acceptance, if applicable. If we receive these documents on a Non-Business Day or after the Close of Business, the withdrawal will be effective the next Business Day. Withdrawals requested by email, telephone or fax are effective on the Business Day we receive the request in Good Order. If we receive the request after Close of Business, the withdrawal will be effective the next Business Day. We will pay any withdrawal amount within seven calendar days.

Additional Information about Fees

The following tables describe the fees and expenses you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Contract. Please refer to your Contract specifications page(s) for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract, or transfer Contract Value between investment options. State Premium Taxes may also be deducted.

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Annual Transaction Expenses** | ***Maximum*** | ***Current*** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; ***Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)*<sup>*(1)*</sup>** | 7% | 7% |

---

*(1)* *The CDSC percentage charged is based on the number of full years from when the purchase payment is applied to the Contract to the date it is withdrawn.* <br> *For a B-Share Contract those percentages are 7% (for first two years), 6% (for 3* <sup>*rd*</sup> *year), 5% (for 4* <sup>*th*</sup> *year), 4% (for 5* <sup>*th*</sup> *year), and 0% (for 6* <sup>*th*</sup> *year and later).* <br> *The C-Share Contract does not have a CDSC schedule.* <br> *See "Charges and Deductions – Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)" for more information.* 

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; ***Transfer Fee***<br>*During the Accumulation Phase* | $20 per transfer for each additional transfer in excess of the 12 free transfers per calendar year | $0 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **C-Share Contract**<br> 1.45%<sup>(2)</sup><sup>(3)</sup> |

---

*(1)* *This represents the annual contract maintenance charge. Currently, we waive this charge if, when we are to make the deduction, your Contract Value is $100,000* *or more. We assess the charge on each Contract Anniversary and when you make a full withdrawal. For Contracts issued in New York, the charge is deducted on* *a pro-rated basis for full withdrawals.* 

*(2)* *The Base Contract Expenses represent the sum of the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative charge. For the B-Share Contract, the current and* *maximum mortality and expense risk charge is 0.85% annually and the current and maximum administrative charge is 0.15% annually. For the C-Share Contract,* *the current and maximum mortality and expense risk charge is 1.30% annually and the current and maximum administrative charge is 0.15% annually. These* *charges are a percentage of average account value in the Separate Account on an annualized basis.* 

*(3)* *After your fifth Contract Anniversary, the Base Contract Expenses for the C-Share Contract will be reduced to 1.00%.*

*(1)* *The Fund expenses used to prepare this item were provided to us by the Funds. We have not independently verified such information provided to us by Funds that* *are not affiliated with us.* 

**Examples**

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other contracts that offer variable options. These costs include Owner transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses, and Fund fees and operating expenses.

These examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that you selected one of two Sub-Accounts – the one that invests in the Fund with the maximum operating expenses or the one that invests in the Fund with the minimum operating expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

(\*) This Fund is subject to an expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangement. As a result, this Fund's annual expenses reflect temporary expense reductions. See the Fund prospectus for additional information.

(1) These
 are fund-of-funds investment choices. They are known as fund-of-funds because they invest in other underlying funds. A fund offered in
 a fund-of-funds structure
 may have higher expenses than a direct investment in its underlying funds because a fund-of-funds bears its own expenses and indirectly
 bears its proportionate
 share of expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests.

(2) MML
 VIP Aggressive Allocation Fund formerly known as MML Aggressive Allocation Fund.

(3) MML
 VIP American Funds 65/35 Allocation Fund formerly known as MML American Funds Core Allocation Fund.

 VIP Moderate Allocation Fund formerly known as MML Moderate Allocation Fund.

(8) You
 could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot
 guarantee it will do so.
 An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The
 Fund's sponsor has no
 legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to
 the Fund at any time. The yield
 of this Fund may become very low during periods of low interest rates. After deduction of Separate Account charges, the yield in the division
 that invests in this
 Fund could be negative.

(9) MML

(18) MML
 VIP JPMorgan U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund formerly known as MML Managed Volatility Fund.

(19) The
 Fund is a "feeder" fund, meaning that it does not buy investment securities directly, but instead invests in shares of a corresponding
 "master" fund, which in turn
 purchases investment securities. A fund offered in a master feeder structure may have higher expenses than those of a fund which invests
 directly in securities because
 the "feeder" fund bears its own expenses in addition to those of the "master" fund. You should read the Fund prospectuses
 for more information about this "feeder"
 fund.

(20) The
 MML VIP American Funds Growth Fund invests all of its assets in the Class 1 shares of the American Funds Insurance
 Series <sup>®</sup> – Growth Fund. However, this Fund
 is not available directly as an investment choice under your MassMutual variable product. You should read the prospectus along with
 the prospectus for the MML
 VIP American Funds Growth Fund.

(21) MML
 VIP American Funds Growth Fund formerly known as MML American Funds Growth Fund.

(22) MML
 VIP Loomis Sayles Large Cap Growth Fund formerly known as MML Large Cap Growth Fund.

 VIP Invesco Global Fund formerly known as MML Global Fund.

(32) MML
 VIP MFS International Equity Fund formerly known as MML International Equity Fund.

(33) Specialty
 funds are an all-encompassing category that consists of funds that forgo broad diversification to concentrate on a certain segment of
 the economy or a specific
 targeted strategy. For example, sector funds are targeted strategy funds aimed at specific sectors of the economy, such as financial,
 technology, healthcare, and
 so on. Sector funds can, therefore, be more volatile than a more diversified equity fund since the stocks in a given sector tend to be
 highly correlated with each
 other.

(34) While
 the ROP Death Benefit is in effect, you may not allocate Purchase Payments or Contract Value to this Fund.

(35) Nomura
 VIP Asset Strategy Series formerly known as Macquarie VIP Asset Strategy Series.
