Lovers of children’s books and theatre, will be tickled pink by Vital Theatre Company’s production of Pinkalicious - The Musical.

The actors do a wonderful job of bringing to life the best-selling book Pinkalicious, the story of a girl who turns pink after eating too many pink cupcakes (written by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann). A lively collection of songs, dances and costume changes keep parents and children smiling and entertained. In fact, there is not a dull moment as the Pinkerton family decides what to do about this ‘pinkifying’ situation.

The solution ultimately is one all parents can appreciate, eating green foods (shhh …. healthy and fun).

“I liked it because the songs had a great beat. It was very good.” - Seven-year-old audience member.

A Great Theatre Environment for New and Seasoned Young Theatre Goers

Pinkalicious - The Musical is playing at an intimate stage at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. There is a lovely selection of rugs on the floor for the young audience to sit on, creating an inviting environment for children (Note: Chairs are available for accompanying adults). The show is interactive at times, and children in the audience are invited to offer suggestions. The cast also came out to sign autographs in the lobby after the show I attended, which brought additonal smiles to a Pinkalicious day!
