Pinkalicious

Pinkalicious
This is a new musical for children, based on the picture book of the same name (which is written by the authors of this show). This description is from the press release: "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." the show is appropriate for children ages 3 to 12.

With Glee

With Glee
With Glee is a new old-fashioned musical comedy about five wayward, eccentric, isolated, awkward, sweet, naive, nerdy teenage boys who are sent away to a boarding school in Maine. as they revel in the trials of their freshman year-striving for acceptance, friendship, and normalcy-we are reminded that every life must be lived to its fullest, every song sung with glee. With Glee was previously presented in a workshop by the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University, as well as the New York Musical theater Festival.
