Audiences will be tickled pink when Fountain Hills Youth Theater opens “Pinkalicious The Musical” Friday, May 31.

The story, based on the popular book by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann, is about Pinkalicious, who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents.

Her obsession with pink cake lands her at the doctor’s office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe – a dream come true for the pink-loving enthusiast.

But when her hue goes too far, only Pinkalicious can figure out a way to get out of the predicament.

“Pinkalicious” is about learning the power of self-control and the importance of moderation.
