New Children's Musical Pinkalicious Begins January 13

Vital Children's Theatre will present Pinkalicious, an original musical for children with book and lyrics by Elizabeth and Victoria Kann, and music and lyrics by John Gregor (Calling All Toys).

The musical is based on the book "Pinkalicious" by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann.  The production is directed by Suzu McConnell-Wood.  Performances run Saturdays and Sundays at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm, January 13, 2007 through February 25, 2007. 

"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," as press notes describe the show.

Featured in the cast are Korie L. Blossey, Molly Gilman, Alan Houser, Meg Phillips, and Kristina K. Wilson. The design team includes sets by Mary Hamrick, lighting by Nathan Elsener and costumes by Sarah Levine. The Musical Director is John Gregor.

All tickets are $18; workshop admission is $14.  The show is appropriate for children ages 3 to 12.  For reservations, visit www.theatermania.com or call (212) 352-3101.  For more information visit www.vitaltheatre.org.  The show performs at Vital Theatre Company, 2162 Broadway, 4th floor, at 76th Street.
