Pinkalicious: A Luscious Production!

pinkaliciousPinkalicious is a luscious production!

A few weeks ago my daughters, my husband, and I took in this musical at the Lower Ossington Theatre in Toronto. We hadn't read the book by the same name and written by Victoria Kann that the musical is based on but as soon as the lights went down and we saw the first hint of sparkly, shimmery pink, we knew we were in for a treat! What an utterly energetic cast; versatile and talented, they kept us entertained the whole way through. The story is that of gregarious pinkatastic Pinkalicious. She is a little girl who loves everything PINK especially pink cup cakes. But we all know too much of anything can be a bad thing! Well Pinkalicious learns that the hard way. Even her own friend doesn't recognize her when Pinkalicious turns pink from head to toe! Even she knows when it's time to make a change.

I was a little afraid that the show might be a little too young for my 12 year old and perhaps borderline for the 8 year old but boy did they ever enjoy themselves! Even my husband found the innocence and clarity of the story beautiful. The musical had us singing the pinkatastic Pinkalicious tunes for days to come. Joy is an infectious thing and it sure filled us with joy!!! Bravo Pinkalicious! Good show!
