Things go from rosy to rotten when a pink-loving girl eats one too many pink cupcakes. Elizabeth and Victoria Kann's best-selling picture book "Pinkalicious" comes to life in this fun musical adaptation at Marriott Theatre near Chicago. When precocious little Pinkalicious goes overboard with her passion for pink and can't stop/won't stop eating the sweet pink treats despite warnings from her parents, she catches a case of "Pinkititis," an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe. Now, only her little brother Peter can help her get back to normal. Kids can laugh and dance all while learning a valuable lesson about having too much of a good thing. This special one-hour presentation is the perfect length for kids (and parents) of all ages. All performances will be followed by a Question & Answer session with the cast. [less-]
