The Educational Magic of Live Theatre: Why Your Class Should Experience Pinkalicious The Musical
The 18th Anniversary Tour of Vital Theatre Company’s beloved Pinkalicious The Musical is coming to Rome Capitol Theatre on Friday, November 1st at 10:30am, and Broadway Utica’s UticaWorx program is thrilled to offer a special field trip opportunity for your students! This enchanting one-hour musical is not just a fun outing—it’s an invaluable educational experience that can inspire and engage your students in ways that extend far beyond the classroom.
Why Pinkalicious The Musical?
Pinkalicious can’t stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents. Her pink indulgence lands her at the doctor’s office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe – a dream come true for this pink loving enthusiast. But when her hue goes too far, only Pinkalicious can figure out a way to get out of this predicament.
Pinkalicious The Musical is a vibrant and captivating adaptation of the best-selling children’s book Pinkalicious by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann. The story follows the delightful Pinkalicious, who learns an important lesson about self-control, moderation, and the consequences of overindulgence—all wrapped in a whimsical and engaging narrative that resonates with young audiences.
