PINKALICIOUS The Musical premiered at The Growing Stage in March 2020 and ran for 3 performances before The Growing Stage closed their doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

PINKALICIOUS The Musical features Music & Lyrics by Victoria Kann, Elizabeth Kann and John Gregor and the book by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann.  This production is directed by Danny Campos, TGS Theatre Artist and Director of Marketing with Musical Direction by Laura Petrie and Choreography by Jillian Petrie. 

The musical is the tale based on the popular book in which 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 pink predicament. 

PINKALICIOUS The Musical is about learning the power of self-control and the importance of moderation.

The cast features the talents of five professional performers in the cast plus a Cupcake Ensemble of young performers.  Returning to the Palace in the title role is Casey Esbin of New City, NY, as Pinkalicious; TGS favorites: Dave Cameron (Matilda, The Wizard of OZ) of Cedar Grove, as Mr. Pinkerton; Lori B. Lawrence (The Wizard of OZ) of Hackettstown, as Mrs. Pinkerton; Jeorgi Smith (Frosty, The Wizard of OZ) of Green Township, as Alison/Dr. Wink and making his TGS debut is Danny Francis of South Plainfield as Peter.
