In 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.

Oh my gosh! My 2 yr old daughter loves Pinkalicious!! I think we have read “Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink” a million times! She has certain sentences memorized and Ioves to retell her favorite parts. We enjoy watching the show as well. I know she would love this play!
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old daughter would love to see pinkalicious. Pink is her favorite color, too, so that book gets read over and over several times! I would make my husband come to this with us so we could have special one-to-one time with our daughter that we don’t often get.
