Pinkalicious
The delightful children’s book by Elizabeth and Victoria Kann, springs to life once again in the Vital Theatre Company’s production of this charming musical romp, Everyone will be thinking (and even wearing) pink, like Pinkalicious Pinkerton, the heroine of this preteen charmer. This young lady, pink from head to toe, has a thing for pink cupcakes. And as with so many of us, her penchant for sugar quickly morphs from manageable pleasure to crazed obsession. Green vegetables are the first to go. Her parents warn her not to eat too many pink cupcakes, but when Pinkalicious does, of course, she turns pink! When her hue goes too far, only Pinkalicious can figure out a way to get out of this predicament. The performance, which runs approximately one hour, is a delightful introduction to theater for kids 2-7 and their families.
