Can you really eat too many pink cupcakes? Find out as PINKALICIOUS goes on her own special journey of discovery to find her true colors with the help of her loving family. This musical adaptation of the popular children’s book by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann is now playing at The Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences through August 19, 2018.

When she goes overboard with too many pink-iced cupcakes, PINKALICIOUS ends up at the doctor’s office who diagnoses her with Pinkititis. But when her pink dreams go too far, she must figure out a way to get out of this pink-dicament. Filled with a series of adventures and memorable life lessons, (like the importance of eating green vegetables), this whimsical tale is directed and choreographed by Amanda Tanguay. The grown-ups learn their own life lessons as well.
