Family Programming Returns to Adelphi With Pinkalicious, the Musical on November 14

Garden City, NY, October 30, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Special family programming returns to the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (AUPAC) with the Vital Theatre Company production of Pinkalicious, The Musical. Based on the best-selling children’s books, this youthful, endearing and thoughtful piece will be performed on Saturday, November 14 at 2:00 p.m. on the Westermann Stage in the Concert Hall located at AUPAC, 1 South Avenue, Garden City, NY. This engaging musical performance lasts approximately one hour and is specially designed to delight children 2 to 7 years old and their families. 

Based on the book Pinkalicious by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann, 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. With music by John Gregor and lyrics by John Gregor, Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann, this fun afternoon of theatre is not to be missed.
