Waterloo East theatre will be pretty in pink this Christmas as it presents the UK premiere of American children’s show Pinkalicious The Musical from 11 December to 2 January (press morning 13 December).
Based on the picture book by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann and featuring a score by John Gregor, the show tells the story of Pinkalicious, a girl who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes, despite warnings from her parents. Soon she ends up at the doctor’s surgery with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe. It is a dream come true for this Pinkalicious, until her hue goes a little too far.
Gerald Armin, Artistic Director of Waterloo East theatre, said: “I’m delighted that we have festive fare to suit theatre-lovers of all ages this Christmas. Pinkalicious is a celebration of all things sticky and sweet – perfect for children under 10 who love pink!”
Pinkalicious The Musical runs alongside a musical for older theatregoers, Striking 12.
The shows are the first seasonal offerings from Waterloo East theatre, a brand new venue which presented its first show in September.
